I-- [ he does step forward now, and there's more life in his eyes than myri has seen there in months. ] I want you to stay, Myri. For me. Even if it's probably the last thing I deserve, after what I've put you through. But it wasn't until I saw just how far I'd pushed you that it really sank in.

You were right. I don't have to let this just... be the way things always are, for the rest of my life. I can try to make it better, but I can't do it without you.

You've always been the thing that makes me better. At some point, I just... decided not to let you, anymore.
