Fin & Vicky Duet - Text Extract

Vicky: There are echoes here. Every time I breathe it sends ripples, as if I'm looking at the world from underwater. Does it feel like that to you Fin? As if everything is here, and ordinary, but that there are ghosts under the flesh and stone of things? Old echos. I hear old echoes Finn, and they're frightening me.

Fin: Vicky, listen to the rain falling, and watch your feet. See how your feet are wet on the grass? Do you see mine beside yours? That's real Vicky. You and me, here on the grass, getting wet.

Vicky: I'm falling Finn. I'm falling.

Fin: Vicky, it's only the air at dusk. Sometimes when it falls like this, it feels as though it could take you with it.
