Based on Iesoth's theory that after a very long life Eugene needed to pass on, leaving Rapunzel on her own. It's the only way I could get behind Rapunzel and Jack being together because I love Eugene so much.
"Nononono, look at me. I'm right here, stay with me Eugene," Rapunzel begged. Her husband, her best friend and the only one she had in the world wiped away her tears before they could fall.
"I'm tired," he sighed and she knew he meant more than just in need of sleep. How long had she been keeping him alive? Maximus and Pascal were long gone and they had seen their children and grandchildren rule, the kingdom merging with another and taking a new name. How many decades had passed?
And only she remembered it. At first he forgot small things, like places they had traveled or names of people they met. Then he had trouble remembering what had been said only moments prior.
Some days he forgot even who she was.
"Blondie, we lived the dream."
"Yes," she sobbed. "We did."
Eugene kissed her softly. "It's time." She knew it was and held his hand as he slipped away, forcing back her tears to let him go in peace.
Then, Rapunzel was left alone.
