Why did you want to disappear, John?

I don't know. Boyhood whimsy, I suppose.
I tried it again when I was older. When I was John Duncan.
It was easier to disappear then. But I didn't need the lake anymore.

[
John won't see the curious tilt to Lark's head
] You feel you've successfully disappeared, then? Has that changed here?

[Lark might hear the flash of annoyance in his voice.]
We're not talking about
here
, Lark. We're talking about there.
[But as quick as the hint of anger was there, it's gone, replaced with amusement.]
I did disappear!

Sure. But was it the way you
wanted
it to go? What advantage is there in it?

In disappearing?
It was how I first said yes. I said yes...to whatever I needed to be.

What would I see behind me that would be worthwhile?
Because you know, you don't actually disappear into the lake. You're still there. And there are things in the lake. Waiting to ensnare you.

There's a lot to be said for gator wrestling. You seem the type. [

Not in my Prada, Lark.
[A bit of Prideful teasing, but he can't resist.]
That is what's happening here. Not gators, though. I haven't met one yet.

Endure this chaos, I suppose.

You were preparing for the end of the world. Surely this doesn't compare.

There was no chaos there. There was Joseph and Jacob.

And what are you without them?

I'm not without them. Not as long as I follow my brother's teachings.

No. But you don't have his guidance as you face new situations, ones he wasn't preparing you for.

But I have Yes for that.
You asked me who I was without them. I'm whoever I need to be.

Adaptability is admirable. And rare.
But who is it that's making those decisions about those adaptations?
[
The real John might well have 'disappeared'. But that only makes him invisible from the outside. There is still someone in there choosing.]

Me.

Then what adaptations are you [

That depends on who you ask.

No. But yours is the only answer I care about. So: what changes are you making to survive here?
