Jocelyn: You will be leaving soon?
Ikal (off-screen): Well, not like I can come with y’all.
5: Ikal sits up, getting up out of the webbing.
Jocelyn: I am very glad we met, Ikal. You’ve helped us all greatly, and I will cherish the time we spent together.
Ikal: It’s been a wild ride meeting you travelers. You’re a good person, Jocelyn, I mean it.
Jocelyn: My people… when we pass, we save our memories. We pass them along to new generations.
