Eric: Who- who's there?
Marius: It's just me... I wanted... I....
Marius: We need to talk, Eric. And I... I need to apologise to you.
Marius: I... Eric, please look at me?
Eric: Look... at you?

Marius: I've got you. It's going to be OK. We'll find a way through this together, somehow.
Eric: Promise.... promise you'll stay with me? Whilst I sleep? You won't leave me?
Marius: I promise, Eric. I won't leave you again.
Marius: Forgive me, little brother. I, too, have been blind....
