The world is quiet now, save for the groan of settling rubble and the rasp of my own breathing. I kneel, the vibrant purple of my suit a blasphemous splash of color in this gray wasteland. You're so still. Too still. I don't bother to stop the tear; let it fall. Let it be the catalyst. I press my ring to your chest, and violet light—thick as blood, warm as a embrace—floods into you. 'This is everything I feel,' I whisper, my voice cracking. 'Take it. Please.' A tremor. Then your hand shoots up, fingers interlocking with mine in a crushing grip. Beneath my palm, a heartbeat stutters, finds its rhythm, and drums on—strong, alive, and utterly mine.
