He told her she had saved the world. She gave out love, and Mulder gave it back.that's exactly what i get from this: it's kind of an artistic coalescing of their lives, but rather than attempting a narrative like many vids, it's rendering them down into materials: moments, expressions and then implications, so that one perceives all the elements, but somewhat
