Summary
"Do you have any last words?" She says, as the blur of her face turns towards his. "Before I start?"
Her hands clench around each other, the pink stain of pressure spreading over her pale skin. Holding onto herself the only way she can.
He has thousands of them. Words he should have said and didn't, words he never gave enough gravity to, words that were whispered instead of shouted, words held back by worn-thin restraint. Words he choked down and swallowed, left to grow bitter in his throat, the corrupted roots sinking into his chest and twining around his heart.
"I'd do it again," he says, and she flinches at the truth. "That's all."
