Both of you
An hour with the phones in a bowl, and something to talk about after the box is closed.

Every roll is a life decision.

You start at the spring of a river with a whole life ahead of you. Each turn you roll the dice and choose what the roll is for.

Rush, and the years fly past. You reach the end ahead of everyone. Slow down, and you arrive later, carrying what you chose to keep along the way.

At the end of the river stands a gate. It does not care who got there first. What it asks for, you find out at the table.

The door does not open for speed.

Carved on the gate at the end of the river.
