Which “ here ” though ? My mind , in real life ? I don ' t even know if you ' re actually a ghost or just my mind .
Both . Plus one too . Your heart .
OLIVER
ALEX This is too much to handle sometimes Oliver . I ’ m getting Boba .
OLIVER I know you still blame yourself for my death . But it ' s not your fault . It was my own decision to leave the room . I wanted to be with you . I thought you might die , and I wanted to be there with you . The shooter found me . It ' s okay . Because I ' ll never have to live without you . And neither do you .
ALEX So many things you are saying are true . But also false . It was my fault you died . You went out to find me .
True but I wanted to .
I don ’ t think I ’ ll ever forgive myself .
OLIVER
ALEX
OLIVER Only time can solve that now . I think I ' m done here .
ALEX No ! I can ’ t live without you ! I can ' t be alone again ! With no one to talk to !
OLIVER I ’ ll never be truly gone . Remember ? In your mind , your soul and heart .
