Chapter Text
Chell knows she should leave. Knows she should accept the freedom she has be granted, to walk amongst the dusty remains of what people before her have made, to touch what is left and dream of what could have been.
Well no, that’s a lie. If she’d have been born to this, been left to live in this endless, golden world, she’d be dead now. Or at least she thinks she would be. Something is the reason she is the only one left, the only one left whispering the ghost of words her kind once used. What would have made her any different? For all that has happened, she owes her that much. But she cannot go back and she knows she can’t. She has found her Eden and now she must stay there.
She leaves, but it breaks her heart.
