Ilus: (sighs) He's not coming, is he?

Ganymede: (looks at Ilus) Who?

Ilus: (sarcastically) Zeus, of course.

Ganymede: (pauses, thinking) He DMed me saying he would.

Ilus: He hasn’t shown up yet, and I'm sick of waiting.

Ganymede: (nodding) Yes, waiting is all we seem to do lately.

Ilus: But why? Why do we wait for him? What's the point?

Ganymede: Perhaps that's the point…

Ilus: What point?

Ganymede: Getting used to it.

Ilus: To what?

Ganymede: Waiting.
