    Summary

    With his eyes still closed, he takes one final breath and lets himself go, drifting away into what he hopes is a better place than this one.
    He wants to. He wants to follow it. The light. He wants to follow it like he has seen so many do before him.

    Will he?

    Can he?

    Humans can. Maybe it is one of those things that only humans can do. It is not something a skinner like him is worthy of.

    He tries anyways. To focus on the little dots that cloud his vision. Orange over pink, flowing around in indecipherable paths. It is beautiful. Like a sunset on a summer day, where everything seems warmer, and kinder.
    How nice from the Universe to show him such a glimpse of what life could have been, if only just before he leaves it.
    He follows the dots wishing they’ll lead him somewhere just as beautiful.

    OR—

    K is ready to die on the stairs of the Stelline Labs. Acceptance and anticipations of what comes after. He’s tired and he needs to rest. He’s ready for it.

    What he’s not ready for is Ken, who accidentally interrupts him in his “supposedly” last moments on Earth.
