Dejà vu, I have been in this place before

She stares at the screed, eyes opened wide. He sats on the bed and watches without saying a word, arms crossed on the chest, and waits. She moves her lips, whispers silently:

"What happened?"

"Hm?", he replies. He has not hear her as she spoke really quietly. 

"I can't believe my eyes"

Eyebrows arched, he looks at the screen, to what she is pointing at. He shrugs. 

"Seems pretty real to me."

"It is real. That's precisely the scariest thing", she pauses, shakes her head still shocked. "When did this happen? When did we fall this apart?"

"Do you think it's fake?"

"No... Gosh, no. I perfectly believe what I am seeing. But the thing is we have never been this... this far from each other. I mean, look at it. There is definitively no way of coming back to what we were."

"Fair enough", he says, stretching and jumping off the bed. "That is what you were longing for, wasn't it? You cannot expect to be the only one changing, evolving and transcending to another level. No. This is over. It has been a nice ride, but things will never be the same for you. Not for them either."

"Yeah, you are right. They chose their path."

"As you did. And this is absolutely acceptable in both ways."

They stay quiet for a minute. A long sad minute of melancholy for her. He sighs, comes closer and kisses her in the temple. 

"It will be fine. We are heading for another world now."

"Do you think I would be the only one to notice?"

"Probably. But I am sure you won't be the only one to feel it. They maybe accept it, maybe deny it, maybe go with the flow. This is not a thing you can pass by."

"It doesn't make me feel better, though."

He shrugs again.

"You have brooded over this for too long. Let it go. Let them be free, and so you also will be liberated from their chains."

She hold his left hand up on her shoulder and nods. 

"Thank you for coming back."

"I never left."
