“That is not true. When you wake up again, you’ll be home, on Gearheart. Madeleine will stay by your side. She will never leave you. You will drink coffee in the mornings. You will light the fireplace in the evenings. You will sit at your desk and still plan to stop bivnik, despite everything we’ve talked about. You will never give up, even at the end. You will remember your mother and your father. You will remember your daughter. More than coffee, more than the fireplace, your memories will keep you warm, even when you are old like me.”
