-: Vina, Vina, how?
-: I'm not used to you being afraid of me.
-: Used to me?
-: It's a lot to digest.
There's something I need to say.
When you came to Talos, I'd been alone for so many years.
I never imagined happiness or love.
When the Talosians decided we were unsuited for each other,
and when you left, it was worse
because I knew what I'd lost.
-: I thought about you, us, often,
and wished that you would have come with me.
-: Chris, I didn't need too.
That's what I'm trying to say.
They brought you back to me, not the real you.
It's illusory, of course,
but the part of you that still lives inside of me.
We've spent a lifetime together.
-: I'm glad, glad you're not alone.
-: All this time you kept me sane,
kept me tethered to what I once felt.
Even though I was never the person you thought I was.
-: You didn't deceive anyone, Vina.
I felt it too.
(haunting music)
But you're here now.
This is real.
-: As real as it needs to be.
The Talosians' ability
to project illusions across space is limited.
And the farther away you are, the harder it is to sustain.
