[ that is what it feels like when he touches her arm. Purpose. A sense so powerful and affirming that it burns away almost anything else in the fire of it. there is no other feeling like it in the world. ]

You need to leave. They'll notice soon, that you've been gone too long. But you can take me with you.

[ she puts a hand over his where it's rest on her arm. and he can see that so clearly too. see this whole place so clearly, strange and twisted as it is.]

I can give it back to you. Be your eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Make certain that nothing like this ever happens.

[ oof. oughgh. it shines so brightly that he feels like his nerves are on fire. he stares at the place around them, sucking in a sharp breath.

is there any reason why he shouldn't trust her? because lost in this as he is, he looks at her, and he - well, he loves her, in every way that he could possibly love a person. they'll notice that he's been gone too long... what does that even mean?

but. nothing like this should ever happen again. that was what she promised, all those years ago. cure me, she said, and i'll cure war. and she has never, ever lied to him. ]


... I would go with you anywhere. You know this.

We're going to cure the world.

[ cure me, and i'll cure war. and you can do that for each other now. you can fix everything by fixing this one small piece of it.

she pulls him into a tight hug, and it fills him with a sense of pride so strong that it feels it might burst out of his chest. it's hard to breathe even. but you sense you've agreed to something here, and she is so happy to have you on her side.

I'll meet you on the other side, alright? I'll be there.

[ and then, with a sudden move, she pushes him into darkness. ]
