They lived far from civilization, had online jobs, and didn't need to go out because a truck distributed food in the area. It was a beautiful place, they were alone, and everything was perfect. Except for the occasional couple's quarrel, they lacked nothing because they had highly sensitive jobs and earned well. Cut off from society, their minds healed, and they didn't chase after the new; they didn't use social networks or anything. They only had old movies and documentaries they chose before going to this place. Thus, the auditory and visual pollution was non-existent, allowing them to develop their true selves fully, without any influence that made them something they weren't - not an entire social or antisocial experiment.
So, they spent two years alone because the food was left in a room created for that purpose, a few kilometers away. The way to the place wasn't a regular road; it had so many changes that it was even difficult to remember. The narrowness of the 10 stellars gave them absolute privacy and no human contact. Now, both begin to have secrets; she starts drinking a lot, and he feels that life is not enough. This begins to consume them, and he speeds away in his car, returns to the city, and goes to an old friend's place, entangling with her like a desperate wolf.
The woman who was left alone is totally bewildered, both by the escape and by how she feels. She leaves the place, swearing not to return, and goes to a lower place to seek bad things to consume.
So, the two no longer come together because what they lived through left them so bitter that they don't even want to see each other. They detest each other, and thus ends the golden dream of wanting to escape. In the end, it can be as bad as staying because sometimes it's better not to know oneself too much, as it can be frightening. It seems that being with others gives us coherence and moral guidance. It's not perfect, but it seems that there is nothing better than living in society.
I don't think there is one right, good life for all of us. Everyone needs something different to feel fulfilled and satisfied. Unfortunately, we seem to have a great talent for choosing exactly the wrong way of life, the wrong people around us, the most unsuitable conditions. In any case, I know very few people who are happy and in harmony with themselves and their world. What a pity...
