It's okay.

[His other hand comes to rest over hers, gentle as the white feather floating down from the sky. He opens his eyes, but his lids are heavy. He's still smiling at her. How can he help it? She's so beautiful.]

I'll always come back to you. So you don't need to say sorry anymore.

Just don't wake up yet. We've got a little more time.

[He reaches up for her, taking her face, trying to guide her head down to rest it in his lap.]

You know...I don't want to say goodbye either. Just had to is all...

[headhooligan]

Is that really how it works?

[She lets him take her face, but her other hand holds it there, thumbing at his wrist where his pulse should be. She wants him to smother her. She’s not ready to stop seeing him yet.]

I’m scared, Eren. Do you really have to go?

What if I can’t reach you again?

[abandonhumanity]

[A deeper voice, throaty and hoarse. He hasn't let go of her face, and despite it all, he's still smiling. It looks much odder on this face.]

I already told you, Bow. I'll always come back to you.

Always.

[headhooligan]

[Only here can she believe it.]

[She kisses him, lingering just a breath away. He sounds hurt… He doesn’t have to talk anymore.]

I love you, Eren.

Always.

[abandonhumanity]

[When she kisses him, he closes his eyes; when she pulls away, they don't open again.]

Can you forgive me too...?

[headhooligan]

[Never.]

I will.

[abandonhumanity]

[She's a liar, but for once, Eren doesn't seem to realize that. He drops his hands from her face, and they fall limp into his lap. His head tilts forward without the strength to keep it upright. He murmurs something, but it can't quite be heard.

[And he's gone.]

[headhooligan]

[What did he say?]

[It ends like this. He falls. She holds him. He’s gone. She wonders what she didn’t hear, everything he never told her.]

[They never forgive. They never say goodbye.]

[Aubrey wakes up, and the nightmare begins again.]
