1: Seen from above, Julia and Melissa head to their car.
2: Melissa looks stern and almost expressionless; Julia looks concerned, following close behind her.
Julia” Are you… gonna be okay?
Mel” Yeah. He’ll be fine, he’s still young.
3: Mel is opening the car door, ready to get in, not looking at Julia.
Julia: But are you gonna be okay?
Mel: Yes, Julia.
I’ve waited out worse.
5: Julia, fidgeting.
Julia: Have you?
He’s pretty sick.
Mel: You were sicker.
6: Car door open, Melissa sits facing Julia, who hasn’t approached the passenger side yet.
Mel: You were basically dead, but I powered through that. He’s just got an infection. He’ll be fine, and so will I.
Julia: …Okay.
Narrator: She was in fact, not fine.
Well that was more like a collective being. Taking over the individual that was Julia…
No. It was Julia realizing her furry form was a farce. And that she was ALWAYS a collective being kept prisoner in a false form by the radiation of the planet. She wasn’t “Taken over”.
True, but- she can choose to be that false form, if that’s what gives her a happy life.

I don’t know why that appeared twice!
The web ain’t my friend, today. Ha!
🙂
I was going to put something here, but original comment sums it up best. Mel is not okay.
Safe to say at this point nobody really is.
Darn it. Yeah…
This REALLY hits home, to me.
I apologize, because this is probably [too much information], but-
within the past 4 years, two of my favorite family members have passed on, One from [basically, old age], + another from an undetected, breathing problem, I think.
I kind of identify with Mel’s feelings- Mel’s going through a patch, where she’s not sure if he’s “going to be around”, for much more.
My view is- there’s nothing that hurts more, than waiting around, while a family-member or friend has a possibly-life-threatening-problem, + facing the hurts of: my friend or other, might not be around for much more.
Talk to you later on.
This is just my opinion, but- I think that Mel is being a just little insensitive to Julia, right now.
Saying something like, [I can get through THIS problem, because I went through the big, big, problem that (you had), + I did well], seems kind of a harsh thing to say.
What I mean is- we don’t know that Julia has fully dealt with her [bad history] with the black idol, at this point.
Hm.
