Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

A little warning before I begin- This jumps around in the timeline quite a bit. Enjoy!

Therin, to Garvin: “Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down. Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof? You’re scaring us and all of us, some of us love you. Achilles, it’s not much but there’s proof. You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue, redemption lies plainly in truth. Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down. Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?”
(Switching up of the timeline)
Garvin, to Therin: “Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down. Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken, remember the pact of our youth. Where you go, I’m going. So jump and I’m jumping, since there is no me without you. Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down. Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?”
Garvin, to Therin: “Loathe the way they light candles in Rome, but love the sweet air of the votives. Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone. Engage with the pain as a motive.”
Garvin, to Therin: “Today, of all days, see how the most dangerous thing is to love. How you will heal and you’ll rise above.”
(Switching up of the timeline)
Garvin, to Garvin: “Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now. You are absent of cause or excuse. So self-indulgent and self-referential, no audience could ever want you. You crave the applause, yet hate the attention, then miss it. Your act is a ruse. It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now, it’s a pointless resistance for you.”
(Switching up of the timeline)
Clancy, to Garvin: “Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle. Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed. It’s chaos, confusion, and wholly unworthy of feeding, and it’s wholly untrue. You may feel no purpose, nor point for existing, it’s all just conjecture and gloom. There may not be meaning, so find one and seize. Do not waste yourself on this roof.”
(Switching up of the timeline)
Garvin, to Clancy: “Hear those bells ring deep in the soul, chiming away for a moment. Feel your breath ‘course frankly below, and see life as a worthy opponent.”
Garvin, to Clancy: “Today, of all days, see how the most dangerous thing is to love.”
Garvin, to Therin: “How you will heal and you’ll rise above.”
Garvin, to Clancy: “Crowned by an overture, bold and beyond.”
Garvin, to Fredenand: “Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome.”

Garvin, to Garvin: “You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “It’s not worth it, Achilles.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “More poignant than fame or the taste of another.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “Don’t listen, Achilles.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “You’re worth more, Achilles.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “You will not be more than a rat in the gutter.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “So much more than a rat.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “You want my opinion?—”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “No one asked your opinion.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “—My opinion you got. You asked for my counsel—”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “No one asked for your thoughts.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “—I gave you my thoughts.”
Garvin, to Garvin: “Be done with this now, and jump off the roof—”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “Be done with this now and get off the roof—”
Both, to Garvin: “Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you. I’m talking to you.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “I’m talking to you. I’m talking to you. Achilles, come down. Achilles, come down.”
(Switching up of the timeline)
Fredenand, to Garvin: “Throw yourself into the unknown, with pace and a fury defiant. Clothe yourself in beauty untold and see life as a means to a triumph.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “Today, of all days, see how the most dangerous thing is to love.”
Therin, to Garvin: “How you will heal and you’ll rise above.”
Clancy, to Garvin: “Crownedby an overture, bold and beyond.”
Fredenand, to Garvin: “Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome.”
