Solara: Do you really read the same book every day?
Eli: Without fail.
Solara: Will you read some to me? Please? [Eli recites scripture of Psalm 23] That's beautiful.
Eli: You like that?
Solara: Did you write that?
Eli: Yes, I did.
Solara: Really?
Eli: No, no. No. No, that was around a long time before you and I got here, that's for sure.
Solara: What did you mean when you said it's not just any book?
Eli: It's the only one.
Solara: Really?
Eli: After the war, people made it their business... to find and destroy any that the fires didn't get already. Some people said this was the reason for the war in the first place. Anyway, it's the only one that survived.
Solara: How'd you get it?
Eli: They said that the war... tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.
Solara: Yeah.
Eli: Tore a hole in the sky, sun came down... and burned everything. Everything and everybody. You were lucky to hole up and hide in a place like this or underground. Most people weren't lucky. So, a year later, we started coming out, and people wandered around. I, not knowing what I was gonna do, trying to find a place to survive. One day, I heard a voice. It's hard to explain, but it was like it... Like it was coming from inside of me. But I could hear it as clear as I can hear you talking to me now.
Solara: What did this voice say?
Eli: It led me... to a place where I found the book... buried under some rubble. The voice told me to carry the book out west. Told me that a path would be laid out for me, that I'd be led to a place where the book was safe. Told me that I'd be protected... against anyone or anything that stood in my path. I've been walking ever since.
Solara: And you did all that because a voice in your head told you to?
Eli: Yes, I did. I know what I heard. I know what I hear. I know I'm not crazy. And I know I would've never made it without help.
Solara: What's that?
Eli: One question too many.
Eli: Without fail.
Solara: Will you read some to me? Please? [Eli recites scripture of Psalm 23] That's beautiful.
