"I .. didn't mean for it to be funny," Major mumbles, mostly to himself but loud enough for Liv to hear. "I didn't mean to .. I don't know what happened." He sits next to her, attempting to brush off some of the sand from his back. It's a futile attempt, but he tries anyway, giving up after a handful of brushes. "I .. heard .. something. I heard something, and it brought me .. here. Like .. It was like I was hypnotized. Like you know that scene, in Phantom of the Opera, where he pulls her through the mirror? That's .. That's exactly what it felt like." He looks out to the lake, pointing at it. "Only instead of a mirror, it was that."

He pauses for a moment, opening his mouth to say something, then closing it again, then opening it again before finally revealing:

"Now that you're here, Liv, I .. don't have any plans to leave. I mean, we can't help it, it just happens, but .. even if I did or do leave, you've gotta know it won't be by choice."
