A Home at the End of the World Page #5

She's not alone.

She's got Rebecca with her.

Now...

...don't worry, Miss R.

The best thing about Philadelphia

is you can leave it...

...and we'll be waiting for you right here

when you come home.

lf you're lucky and good...

...we'll have a special surprise waiting

for you when you get back.

Lovey. Lovey.

Boys.

Be good.

Always.

Love you.

You sleeping, man?

l can't, really.

They're not coming back, you know.

-This is a good spot, don't you think?

-Yeah, l do.

You think we should, like,

say a few words?

We got this far, Dad.

l think you'd like it. l really do.

-Hey, man.

-l should've written something.

No, man. This is perfect.

Anyway, Dad, here we are.

lt's our place.

And it's yours too.

Okay.

Now.

One.

Two.

Three.

-What's that?

-Window pane.

-For clarity of vision.

-lf something bad happens...

...tell my parents l tried to be good,

but it was just too hard.

You're not freaked out about

the graveyard? l mean, don't be.

The dead are just people too.

People who wanted the same things

we want.

What do we want?

l don't know, man.

l mean, our lives, right?

Man, like, this whole big,

beautiful, noisy world...

...and everything that can happen.

All's well, little brother.

Your folks love you.

l love you.

Nothing to fear.

l've been thinking,

we should repaint Rebecca's room.

-Like, pink.

-She'd like that.

-Don't you think?

-Okay.

She'll come back someday...

...to this house, l mean.

lt'll be hers.

l guess it will be.

She probably won't want it, right?

She probably won't have any idea

what to do with it.

But still, it'll be hers, you know?

lt'll be hers.

Listen.

This will be an all right place

to put my ashes too, okay?

Sure.

l mean, whatever you want.

You built us a very good home.

That's not what--

That's what you did.

That's what you did for me, you know?

lt's funny, isn't it?

What?

The big, beautiful, noisy world.

Everything that can happen.

Yeah.

lt's funny.
