Dubrovnik’s drop of time as the imagination flows, just like water
Earling: Time feels like a slow leak. I wake up already losing something I have not yet named.
Charlie: Loss is the native grammar of existence. Kierkegaard would say you feel time because you dread not having eternity.
Earling: Then dread is proof that I am awake?
Charlie: No. Dread is proof that you know you will not be allowed to stay.
Earling: Impermanence makes everything absurd. Why build what will rot.
Charlie: Impermanence is the only thing that makes building ethical. If we stayed forever we would never choose. We would only drift.
Earling: So the deadline is the dignity?
Charlie: Yes. Finite frames carve meaning out of noise. Infinity produces only blur.
Earling: Then the pain of passing is the price of form.
Charlie: And the price is non-negotiable. Humans bargain. Time never answers.
