you look in my eyes, it breaks all my bones

20,000 leagues under the sea: that is where the man in the diving suit found me. And deep beneath is where we must reside, haunting an undersea city founded on fragmented and impossible ideals.

Yet it doesn't matter. Now, tell me why.

Because we'll be together!

An unlikely duo, braving the waterlogged desert of disintegrating dreams, we discover the destinies awaiting our surrogate selves in this alternate universe. Do your best, gentle giant, not to dwell on the restriction of being relegated to these ruins, not to weep for the cursed fate of this place, not to shed a tear for how this crumbling dystopia is all that remains of what was once a metropolis of inestimable promise.

After all, plenty of rapture does still linger here.
