Wizera: This is the moment, when the gods expect me to beg for help, but I won't even try. I want nothing in the world by myself to protect me, and I won't lie down, roll over, and die. All I have to do, is forget how much I love him. All I have to do, is put my longing to one side. Tell myself that love's an ever changined situation. Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died. It's easy, it's easy. All I have to do is pretend I never knew him, on those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart. Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding. Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start. It's easy, it's easy. Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him. And how he could have been, were I to be with him today. Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming. All I've ever wanted...and I'm throwing it away. It's easy, it's easy as life!
(The ghosts of planet W start seeping into Wizera's room through the walls. Wizera cowers up against a dresser.)
Wizera: But then I see the faces of a worn defeated people. A father and nation who won't let a coward run. This is how the gods reward the faithful through the ages, forcing us to prove, that the hardest things we've done, are easy, so easy.
(Wizera turns and points a finger at Lordra's picture.)
Wizera: And though I'll think about him 'til the earth draws in around me. And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love. This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption, redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above! It's easy, it's easy as life. It's easy as life! It's easy, as life!
(She knocks the picture to the floor.)
