“We are just three twisted people. Neither of us can possibly hope to stand as human beings alone. But together, we compensate for our flaws and foibles. That which we cannot do, that which we believe we must do, that which allows for sanity to take hold, we find in each other. Three twisted trees who grew up together in the shape of people. Entwined and entangled in a horrid mess. The shadows of our hearts, so different and diverse, create the necessary shadows for us to define ourselves. Without each other, we are merely in the despair of black, incapable of self understanding. At first we believed separation is worse than death, that existence without each other would become unbearable. But our entanglement is deeper than that. To die, individually, means nothing to us. Hopes, dreams, and beliefs factor not into our survival. We live for each other. We continue to survive , because we understand how much the others rely on us. We do not fear death because it is the end of our existence. We fear death because dying would result in the shattering of the terrible triad we have created. Our lives for each other. We have come to rely on each other so much, that the thought of leaving them behind causes a violent reaction. We must not die, as payment to each other. No matter how far apart we are, the thought to reunification gives reason to life. We are just three twisted people, and we live for the sake of making life meaningful for the other.”
One is a woman incapable of feeling, both physical and emotional. She represents the strength to maintain one’s self in the face of an ever changing and ever challenging world. Yet she lives a life of no desire, no change, and no motivations for anything. To give reason and purpose to her sturdiness is her dream, yet her current nature precludes her ambitions. The Eternal Sleeper.
One is a man dedicated to achieving utopia and happiness for all. Forever believing in ideals and spreading himself too thin for actual meaningful success, he continues to live in a dream world where things must work to his conventions. He represents the desire for happiness and selflessness, tradition and convention, all idealistic and impossible to realize. The Chaser of the Horizon.
One is a man tormented by his aggressive instinct. Each action is an internal battle to not destroy all that is around him. His ambitions represent the desire to bring order to chaos, yet his actions reveal a violent and savage inner self. He wishes for a docile life, to find a master to control his urges, yet he daily lashes out against control and peace. The Eye and the Storm.
The Sleeper continues to sleep, but the others urge her to rise. Awake, she follows their dreams in search of her own.
The Chaser continues to run, but the others remind him of rest. Grounded, he follows their roots in reality while gazing up.
The Eye and the Storm continues to clash, but the others control his leash. Balanced, he follows their orders to regulate his desires.
In the end, is there hope of success for any of them? Either way, they move on.
