She tells him she loves him, but she knows he cannot possibly understand... His hand reaches, and she almost... sometimes still dreams the "what if" she had taken it.
There is a last moment. The cavern crumbles, the light shines, and he begins to burst in flames… this time, she clasps his hand and tells him she loves him.
With his eyes, with his denial, he tells her that he finally understands the distinction. And as he burns his way to a new destination, she lets him go.
nd that night, she does not wonder. Does not dream what if.
