Like A Spider Smells Tomorrow's Rain
Swaying atop the airship, with Yu Yevon defeated and his father finally at peace, Tidus can feel the tide of nothingness ready to crash down on him. It's an undertow pulling at his feet, it's salt water swimming into his mouth.
There is peace and rest and darkness coming for him. He can feel it in his bones. He can feel it in between his fingers and his toes.
He doesn't want peace or silence. He wants to fight, he wants the struggle to survive.
"I love you," Yuna says and he can say nothing, because there's time lodged in his throat.
