(TEARS) Good!
How long will you be staying?
LINO (TEARFULLY): AS LONG AS PO-PO-POSSIBLE!
You will not be able to leave! This is not the way of a person who can leave!
LINO: OHHH!
You are finished! (chuckles) Come closer to me... just the last touch!
Good, so you have arrived! It is beautiful.

It becomes your shadow.
