“I love you."
"Nate. Are you okay?"
"I don't know. I don't know anymore. But something big is happening. Something I can't explain. And I just needed to—to hear your voice again. Skipping rocks. Remember?"
"I remember." Rick sighed. "You weren't very good at it."
"Yeah. I learned, though. You taught me how.
"I don't-Nate, what are you talking about?"
“Just-thank you. For showing me how to skip rocks."

"You think yourself alone. You think yourself lost. We wanted to show you that there was so much more than this place. We didn't come to hurt you. We didn't come to save you. Only you can do that. We came to be your friend. To make you understand that, in the end, you are never alone."
