The time is nigh, my dearest friends

(Dr. Nadir Shahid approaches Designer Sonia Crowsworth, who is lying in the flower field by the lake.)

Dr. Shahid: Crowsworth.

Desigr. Crowsworth: Oh! Hello there Nadir. Care to join me?

(Crowsworth pats the spot besides her. Three seconds of silence passes.)

Dr. Shahid: …Alright.

(Dr. Shahid sits down slowly.)

Desigr. Crowsworth: So how's your son? Still planning to go to his dream college?

Dr. Shahid: Planning no more, he got his letter of acceptance just last week. Been negotiating with me for a new car, the little rascal.

Desigr. Crowsworth: I'd say he deserves it, ya dingus! And give him my congratulations.

(Sounds of hundreds of wings flapping echo above head.)

Dr. Shahid: What about you Crowsworth? Anything exciting recently?

Desigr. Crowsworth: Jackie wanted to go for a walk this morning! It's like my baby got new springs in her steps again. I'll let you play with her sometimes!

Dr. Shahid: I'm afraid your Bullmastiff might crush me, but thanks for the offer.

(The flowers briefly become violet.)

(Everyone laughs.)

For those who sleep in graves of the dark

Crowsworth: -nce, I'm glad I finished all my work ahead of time.

Shahid: You, being productive? Am I hearing this right? What's the world coming to?

Crowsworth: Shut up, Nadir.

(Crowsworth punches Shahid in the arm.)

Crowsworth: I just… thought it felt right - completing them, ya know?

(A brief moment of silence lapses.)

Shahid: …I know.

(The weight of a million things left unsaid dissipates.)

(The sky turns lavender, then darkens.)

O5-1: One last drink for the night, gentlemen?

(O5-1 raises his champagne glass. The rest follows.)

(The light grows strong. The shadow grows long.)

To those who can accept the light

Sonia: …What's left for us, Nadir?

(Nadir ponders. He picks a purple lily and gives it to Sonia.)

Nadir: All the time in the world.

(Sonia accepts it, and nods.)

(The stars' brightness increases sharply for 45 seconds.)

(Then they go out.)
