In a thousand years," Alessandro said, "this incident will be remembered. By then, of course, we will have become angels, devils, or a dragon that breathes fire...but we have given this rock a story that will be passed on.""What good is that?""It isn't to our advantage, if that's what you mean. However, it's pleasurable to cast a line into the future, no matter how tenuously. You never know, the line may be unbroken all the way to the last judgment.
In a conversation about the significance of their actions, Alessandro reflects on the enduring nature of stories, suggesting that they leave a legacy that will be remembered for centuries. He acknowledges that the passage of time will transform them into something mythical, yet the narratives they create serve a vital purpose, imbuing their experiences with meaning that transcends their immediate reality.
While another character questions the utility of such stories, Alessandro finds value in the connection to the future. He believes that even if their actions don't benefit them directly, there is joy in contributing to a narrative that may endure until the end of time, serving as a testament to their existence and experiences. This perspective highlights the importance of storytelling in human experience.
