Sirius: Are you okay?

Altair: I feel like my whole life has been a lie… I know you told me all of this the other day but seeing it on paper like this. It makes it too real. I guess I was hoping it’s some kind of a cruel joke… 

Sirius: What purpose would it even serve for me to make any of this up?

Altair: I don’t know… I just… wish it wasn’t. It feels surreal. Like it’s someone else’s life I’m reading about.
