(Sam and Lilly lie in bed.)
LILLY
Sam? (Beat.) You awake?
SAM
Mmm.
LILLY
I had a realization, wake up. Sam!
SAM
What…
LILLY
I think the end of the world is in our hands!
SAM
Mmm.
LILLY
It’s not inevitable!
SAM
Mmm.

Okay, this is it. We have free will. But God has God’s will. But he gave us free will. So for God’s will to be done, he has to reveal it to us. We can choose to follow it or not. Like when the universe prods us and stuff. But if we ignore it, we destroy ourselves. Like how people end up in the wrong jobs and doing the wrong things and miserable and stuff. So it can be revealed to us through that—we see how we messed up, so we tell ourselves next time we’ll listen more to God’s will, or the universe’s will, or whatever. But if we don’t, if we keep refusing to see it—well, it still has to be revealed to us in some way. So it is revealed in our ruin. That’s the revelation—that we had the power all along to avoid the end if we just listened. What do you think?
(Sam is sleeping.)

(to herself)
God’s will be done.
