[There are no more tears, no more fears. The pain is starting to fade, his breaths are getting shallower and shallower, he's so pale -
And yet, he still lives, forcing himself to move just a little longer for her sake - stroking the back of her head like he has like always, a gentle, sad smile coming to his lips.]
Shh...it'll...be alright...Mary...
[All his pain, all his hurt - it's gone. Faded away with his blood, a deep peace settling onto his body, into his mind.
It's a comfort he hasn't had in what seems like years, this total and utter peace, this deep stillness.
It's strange, not being in fear or pain as he dies. And maybe...it's not so bad.
But Mary is crying, vibrant and alive and covered in his blood, and...he wants...more time.
