The scene opens to the inside of a very dark place. It's almost impossible to make out anything on-screen for almost a minute, before there comes a distinctly human movement. Mystica stands with his back to the camera. He has discarded his white shirt from earlier in the day and now stands bare-back, his hair slicked back and the gentle rhythm of his breathing the only motion visible. He begins to hum to himself. Some sort of hymn he heard Becky sing to him one evening as he wrote. As the melody reaches a climax, he stops and gives a slight laugh.
"Oh, we can't always get what we want, can we, David?" Mystica asks aloud, not bothering to turn to face the camera. "No, never. We become satisfied with satisfaction. Happy with happiness. And the hunger is ever-longing for something more. Gold, food...love. All matters of the heart and how it suffers. But ah, we shan't let it stop beating."
Mystica begins moving side-to-side, almost in rhythm with his own breathing.
"Tick, tock. Tick, tock. The heart never stops. Just like the clock. Strike midnight and all the monsters come out to play. And we know monsters, yes? Elisha? Oh, what a monster. A beautiful, beautiful creature. He knows how to consume these matters of the heart and be reborn. Ah, but why can't we? What keeps you human, dear David? Some dead words to a crowd of believers? Some banter for God? One little redheaded girl in the crowd? Hehehe. Oh, you're still a boy at heart. Little bit of a crush, David? Stupid, stupid boy. Who could ever love us?"
Mystica shakes his head violently. His hands snake their way up to his temples, and, seemingly under their own control, grab his skull and hold it in place.
"Oh, such glorious things ahead, luv. Would she ever care for us when she sees what we do to Duke and McAllister in three days? Good lord, she'd run. Run and never look back at this face. This face...Yes, boys. We're waiting for you here. I've even contracted a few gentlemen to erect you two a nice shack on the edge of the compound. Figure if you're really lost somewhere between something diabolical and a series of frat brothers, we may as well build you a fraternity house. You can even put some silly logo on it if you please. Either way, we'll be seeing you two 'round here real soon. No title for you. Only a nice new home with some good friends...how else can I really put it, boys?"
He looks over his shoulder at the camera, his deep blue eyes burning a hole in the lens.
"Welcome home."
He pushes open the door in front of him outward into the world. A burst of sunshine emerges, blinding the camera. All that can be seen is Mystica's pale form, taking in the light. He seems to be basking in it; bathing in the warm glow of the coming morning. Today will be a good day. Just another day in The Promise Land. Another day in the hot sun, gradually burning away the pain inside.
It's just another day.
