And that fate can't change?

[littlesoul]

I don't know. Maybe. I'm trying.

Even if you can't change your fate, the way you get there is still up to you.

[littlesoul]

True.

[She smiles a little.] You make your way, no matter what that means.

[ he smiles back ] Good things will come.

[littlesoul]

They already have. It's quiet, that's enough for now.

[5thchild]

I'm glad, then.
