Author's Notes: Title is a combination of two words.
The sound of silence is broken with rattled chains, psychotic clockwork ticking, wooden former-obstruction splintering from a flood of anger? excitement? of his mind. Once rusty, bloody red, the room is now stark, sickly white in the dimming sunlight of never. Henry's at the window, staring into almost, and grinning.
Walter doesn't need to speak -- Henry knows everything he's going to say. Twenty, with one more to go. Green meets green. One instantly submits, turning and leaning back against the windowsill, his arms limp at his sides, legs bent to prop himself slightly up. Strong hands are locked too tightly around his neck, but that's okay it's alright everything's fine now this is the end
Looming, Walter looks down, feels a pulse beneath his palms, sees Henry still smiling with a gaze of I'm not here anymore. His mussed hair and unshaven face are partially illuminated by the rays that make it through the pane, but his irises pretend to glow on their own.
His breathing is harsh; his voice isn't. Sightless eyes seek Walter's with accepted last words. A whisper upon dying lips:
"Make it rain for me."
Out of curiosity, how'd you interpret the "almost"?
