在悔恨与渴望中展开一场对平凡人生的幻想，hopeful ending.
“I don’t want you to think—” Lawrence rushed to reassure him. “I don’t regret—I don’t regret what we did. I could never.”That made Aldo laugh.
“Was it what you expected?” he asked when he had stopped laughing. “Life?”
He sounded bitter. Lawrence knew he likely didn’t expect an answer, and yet he gave the question thought.
“There is no way of knowing what I might have been. What you might have been. We can’t imagine ourselves out of our past.”
“Depressing, but true.”
“No, no.” Lawrence shook his head. Something was becoming clear to him; something that was easier to see in a strange bedroom with the lights doused. “I mean that—tonight happened to me. Not some person I might have been. Which means change, which means life. Don’t you see?”
I’m not that person yet, but I might become him. I might become anyone.
He reached for Aldo’s hand. Aldo laced their fingers together without looking at him. His grip on Lawrence’s hand was strong. He realised, abruptly, that Aldo was holding back tears.
