   Summary

   "I don't want to die," is a rather simple realization to make. It's called survival instinct.

   Maybe that's why it's the last thing that crosses your mind before you open your eyes to see the most beautiful face you've ever seen, belonging to a man you only ever admired from afar as a piece of art, a fictional, abstract idea that brought you comfort.
