Summary
They say that when you are about to die, your life flashes before your eyes.
But most of Newt’s life was long gone. Lost to far, unreachable corners of his mind. There was nothing of his childhood, of his parents or the family he may have had. Nothing beyond the last 3 and a half years.
And yet, that brief window of time was all he had, and all he was. He did remember. Perhaps not his past, but his life. It had gotten him to this point, and looking back, it was enough for an entire lifetime -one much longer than his.
So as he felt the knife pass cleanly between his ribs and felt Thomas’s arms hold him tighter than they ever had, it was not the city he could see from over his shoulder, nor the inky blackness seeping over his vision.
With his last breath held on the tip of his tongue, and all the strength his mind had left over the disease, he felt the memories wash over him.
