有点意识流,现实与回忆交叉，死前偷吻，协助自杀。
“Close. Come closer. Let me whisper it to you.”Francis does as he’s asked, bending low, close enough that his breath stirs James’s hair, and before he can duck too far out of reach, James summons all the will he can muster in his failing body, turns his head, and presses his lips to Francis’s. Who starts—but also, to James’s relief, does not pull away until James’s strength gives out—too quickly—and he sinks back against the cot.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers, looking up at Francis’s still-startled face. He tries to summon a smile. “Not pleasant, I’m sure. But that was one regret with which I did not wish to die.”
Francis looks away, and James is afraid he’s angry, but when he turns back, his eyes are bright with unshed tears. He smooths his hand over James’s hair. “James,” he says, his voice soft and rough and even more Irish than usual. “Rest now, James.”
