   Summary

   And the aftertaste is bitter, yet so sickeningly sweet. It has nothing to do with Mello's chocolate addiction. It's just that Matt feels simultaneously happy like he's never been before, and so sad he could cry. He realises this aftertaste will stay forever now. But forever is exactly one hundred forty-six minutes long, and he swallows back his tears.

   Matt gets a taste of Mello's love, and decides to fail the plan, because he wants more. He wants to live. And Mello does too.
