I SAID–
I'm feeling too meaningless.
SHE–
Yes! You're meaningless.
Then,
I
left
Margot's
house,
never
to
return.
But
words
are
often
spoken,
yet
never
fulfilled.
I
wasn't
any
different
from
many
people.
Three
days
later,
I
found
myself
knocking
on
her
door,
and
she
allowed
me
to
enter
her
house
again.
I
should
never
have
entered
there.
CUT TO THE STREET
I
was
running
on
the
wet
sidewalk
after
the
rain,
thinking
that
my
life
had
taken
a
wrong
turn.
Desperately,
completely
lost
in
my
reality,
I
stopped
and
began
to
spin,
spin,
spin
until
I
fell
to
the
ground.
Seconds
later,
I
got
up,
and
suddenly,
I
saw
"myself"
coming
in
my
direction.
What?
I'm
dreaming?
Of
course,
not!
It
was
real!
I
was
seeing
"myself"
going
somewhere.
At
that
moment,
I
didn't
resist
and
stopped
"myself".
"Where
are
you
going?"
"Myself"
responded
without
showing
any
kind
of
astonishment,
"I'm
going
to
Margot's
house!"
It
was
then
that
I
realized,
if
I
hadn't
lost
control
of
my
mind,
I
was
walking
in
a
parallel
universe.
Would
it
be
real?
I
didn't
know!
What
I
did
know
was
that
"myself"
was
going
there
ahead
of
me.
So,
I
was
like,
go
ahead,
tell
me
more.
"Myself"
looked
deeply
at
me
and
said,
"Three
days
ago,
she
said
to
me
that
I
was
meaningless.
I
went
away
from
there,
but
now,
I'm
returning
to
try
to
make
peace.
I
love
her
so
much."
Bingo!
I
was
right.
In
the
parallel
universe,
that
meeting
still
hasn't
occurred.
I
needed
to
do
something
to
save
"myself"
from
this
horrible
event.
So,
I
decided
to
tell
"myself"
everything
that
happened
between
Margot
and
me
that
day,
in
which
she
had
cursed
all
the
hard
words
that
exist
in
The
Oxford
English
Dictionary
to
me.
She
cried
so
loudly
that
I
got
really
angry,
and...
I
made…
I
made
a
big
mistake.
CUT TO THE FLASHFORWARD
In
court,
seated
in
the
defendant's
chair,
I
confessed
to
unintentionally
killing
Margot.
I
explained
that,
after
she
had
uttered
a
string
of
improper
words
directed
at
me,
I
pushed
her.
Unfortunately,
she
fell
and
struck
her
head
forcefully
on
the
floor.
Overwhelmed
by
fear,
I
hurriedly
fled
the
scene.
CUT TO ME TALKING WITH "MYSELF"
I
told
"myself"
to
do
the
right
thing.
Go
there
and
ignore
all
the
curse
that
she
will
be
pitching
at
you.
Forgive
her,
kiss
her,
make
love
with
her,
and
be
happy
in
your
universe.
CUT TO MY MIND
Before
"myself"
left,
I
was
thinking
about
the
possibility
of
swapping
universes
with
him.
Then,
I
would
return
to
her
house
to
try
to
do
the
right
thing
by
myself.
As
it
worked
out
that
way,
I
held
both
of
his
hands
and
started
spinning,
spinning,
spinning
until
"myself"
disappeared.
Oh,
my
God!
Did
it
work
out?
CUT TO MYSELF IN MARGOT'S HOUSE
Margot
was
holding
a
gun
at
me,
saying,
"You're
a
lousy
guy!
I
hate
you,
and
the
only
way
to
get
rid
of
you
is
like
this,"
and
then
she
fired
two
shots
into
my
chest
in
the
parallel
universe.
CUT TO BEGINNING
After
a
long
discussion
without
a
winner,
I
said
that
I
was
feeling
meaningless,
and
Margot
responded
to
me
that
I
was
meaningless.
I
thought
for
a
while,
then
I
got
up
from
the
sofa
and
asked,
"It's
over?"
She
replied,
"I
think
so!"
I
opened
the
door
and
went
away
from
there.
My
heart
feels
a
bit
numb,
by
the
way,
there
are
so
many
universes;
I
just
have
to
find
one
for
myself.
