Reflection of Action 2: Act 1

The Boy returns. "I watched them like you said."

I wouldn't waste my time watching them on the Screen. "And.....?" I prompt him.

He looks away. "The same. Nothing more."

"Then you know my reply."

The Boy nods, leaves.

I want to run to them, shake them. They are almost ready! I even sent Pozzo, Lucky...to bring them ever closer! Maybe they would've said something to maybe bring them to readiness....but I was mistaken.

I let my hand fall on my face and groan. Will they never learn? Will they never understand how long they've waited? How long I've waited?
