Through the Forest Page #3

---

She was weird before she left,

wasn't she? Totally confused.

Where are you?

Here.

Renaud doesn't come at night

any more.

Where is he?

Come back to us. We're waiting for you.

Life's waiting for you.

Life...

What's there to live for?

Do you know?.

Do you know or not?

Then tell me.

lt's hard to say.

We each have our own reasons.

What's yours, then?

Well, beauty.

The beauty of the world.

The sun this morning,

the light, fresh air.

There's no more fresh air in nature.

lt's all polluted now.

Don't overdramatize.

The earth's living on borrowed time.

Mankind, too. Everyone knows that.

Then you have to fight.

Fight those who want

to destroy the planet.

That's something to live for.

lt's a lost cause.

They have the might.

They have the guns.

They torture.

They kill.

Find something else, Berenice dear.

Love!

Love. You're lucky in love?

- Not all the time.

- Why not?

lt's impossible...

- You've known Antoine how long?

- 7 1/2 years.

Why don't you live together?

We're fine this way.

We're very independent, you know.

No, that's not why.

The truth is you don't give enough

of yourselves.

You don't let yourselves go.

You're afraid to make

a real commitment.

Roxane, with all her lovers,

is like that, too.

Everyone's like that.

But Renaud wasn't.

You meet someone like Renaud

only once in a lifetime.

Your idea of love

is too uncompromising.

Maybe.

lf you think living together is proof

that you're letting yourself go...

- That's it exactly.

- No, it isn't.

We'll live together

when we have children.

A child is a good reason for living.

A child is wonderful.

A child is a future loser.

You're so gloomy about everything.

lt's frightening.

You're right, l'll shut up.

Can you put some music on?

Renaud's record?

Okay. True, we're talking too much.

We don't know what we're saying.

NlGH

Renaud?

l must be dead.

What should l do?

Where should l go?

But l don't feel any pain.

Am l dead or not?

You seem different.

l don't know.

Two days in a coma is long.

You have to wait a while

before things are normal again.

ls it true they said l was dead?

They call it clinical death.

ENCHANTMENTS:

ln Roxane's book,

the one with the green cover...

And?

l remember reading that some people

declared dead, clinically dead,

come back to life transformed,

with certain powers.

What kind of powers?

lt depends on the person.

Cut it out. This silliness

has gone far enough.

When she came out of her coma,

you called it a miracle.

lt was the emotion.

- That's when the real questions come.

- Cut the esoterics.

lt helped calm me.

Don't switch roles.

l think l want to be alone.

We're not leaving you alone
