Panel 1 [Adelaide gives Barzillai a sad little smile, trying to keep humor]

ADELAIDE:
Well, if anything, it kept us fond for each other in the months you were home.

Panel 2 [Closeup of their hands, Adelaide splaying her fingertips across his open palm]

ADELAIDE:
But perhaps…this trip will be the last time.

Panel 3 [Barzillai laces his fingers with Adelaide's, squeezing her hand]

BARZILLAI:
I want it to be, Addy. God, I’m so tired of it all.

Panel 4 [Barzillai looks out at the water, resigned, as Adelaide looks at him with concern]

BARZILLAI:
But I’m not sure if I can ever be away from it.

Panel 5 [Shot from behind the two of them, looking out on the Valor on the horizon as the sun sets beneath the waves]

ADELAIDE:
I’m still having trouble seeing what made you fall in love with it to begin with.

Panel 6 [Barzillai stares at the ship, brow furrowed, something hostile in his face.]

BARZILLAI:
No…no it’s not love. It has a claim on me. Like a jailer.
