[And therein lies the biggest difference between them. While McGillis will fortify his walls for the inevitability of being proven right - while leaving a small window to be proven wrong - Celeste will do his best to make the most of the time they have left. He'll put on a hell of a show all the way to curtain call. He'll live intensely, love deeply, and make sure there are no regrets.
If whatever is constructed manages to persist on after, then so be it.
But if it cannot, he'll refuse to look back on it with bitterness.
If he can stubbornly convince McGillis to do the same - to whatever extent he is able - all the better. Especially now that he's changed his mind, now that he wants to be proven wrong.]
That's a dangerous admission, you know.
[An invitation to climb through the little window in his walls. A request for someone to try to tear them down. Trust and care that McGillis still insists don't exist within him.]
