In the moment she finds her beloved August Inn, the demolished building is almost empty. She sits on a broken chair, but someone taps her shoulder. She turns back and sees familiar face in the devoid place.
lyrics
Wanderer: Hey... psst! Hey, girl!
Gambler: Oh, I didn't know I'd see you here! You look surprisingly lovely today. What have you been up to for this whole time?
Wanderer: Nah, you know me. Being here, being there, seeing the world and drinking coffee. How's your business going?
Gambler: Dude, why are you even asking? This casino is more deserted than the Inn so I'm basically moping around, having no idea for my life. It's all so twisted...
Wanderer: Hmm... So maybe if you can't find anything interesting to do you could just join me? Two Wanderers exploring the space... hey! It would be SOMETHING.
Gambler: When I look at you I can't tame the disturbing impression... Aren't we the same person?
Wanderer: Open your mind, my dear Gambler! There's so much to see, to discover. The planets are illuminating, the stars are blinking shyly at you, the ceiling bursts! Look at these cracks on the boards REBEL, my friend! It's the only right way of existing. Think of your future! Friendly pumas, pants made out of badgers, miraclous armadillos, lil'dipsticks sticking out from the ground like a top part of mycellium. You can find it all in these skies, the skies are so white, so bright today!
Gambler: What happened? I feel so dumb, so numb, can't keep plumb...
Wanderer: Isn't it a courier approaching? He brings a message! Maybe he's a first baleful sign of new beneficial occurences?
Gambler: White skies! I see them!
Wanderer: You're trembling all over... I'll catch you!
Gambler: Arms, they are a future of mankind, so... so cozy....
Wanderer: I think you didn't even guess that it was my wicked kind of proposal.
Gambler: You look so shockingly resplendent today...
