[ there was a time when five would've given anything -- anything -- to meet another apocalypse survivor.
there were months that piled into years, where five held out hope that he wasn't alone. that there had to be someone else on the planet who had survived whatever happened. he tried traveling, some; he tried the radio; he tried some mangled, halfway working televisions. no one was broadcasting. he called for help more times than he'll ever admit, screamed and begged for it, but there wasn't anyone. delores and five were all that were left. he'd accepted that before the first decade was up.
before dying and waking up on the ferry, he wouldn't have even thought this possible. but mk doesn't leave room for doubt, not with his description, his obvious interest. five's met other people trying to stop apocalypses. maybe it stands to reason he'd meet other people who lived in a time after them, too. ]
I grew up there. [ well. his eyes flick down. ] For a while, anyway. [ then, ] Unlike you, clearly.
