You would be surprised.

[Primo's tone is lazy and uninterested as he observes the other boy.]

Would you really prefer to change the dream and save your friend? And then, what? Keep dreaming how things would have been different if you had saved him? Dream about how you could change everything else you wish never happened? Only to wake up to the crude reality where your friend is long time dead and cold. The reality where you were unable to save him, to protect him, because you didn't know what was going to happen. The reality where everything you wish had never happened, happened and will keep happening because that's the way life is and there's no end to pain.

How long would it take you, I wonder. How long would it be before you decided that those wonderful dreams and lies where you could have a perfectly happy life are better than reality? How long before you would succumb to them and surrender your life and existence, surrender your real happiness, just for the sake of an illusion?
