Neo's POV
To reach the cockpit of the Logos, I had to climb a ladder. The cold metal was starting to rust and I began to wonder if I could still climb. I could, of course. Your body, doesn't forget things easily, but the mind sometimes goes blank. It did right now and I stood next the ladder for sometime before I managed to pull myself together and muster enough courage to climb the ladder. Up in the cockpit, my back was turned so that I did not see her body until I turned and looked down. I had to take several breaths because I started to feel light-headed. Then I turned and looked down.
I almost lost it then and there. Trinity's body looked worse than I had thought. There were multiple sentinel arms in her and she looked extremely pale. I dropped to my knees, not feeling the pain. In the back of my mind, I thought,
"That's going to leave an interesting bruise."
But I was focused in Trinity. I had been in shock when she died, but now I felt the full onslaught of grief. It was unlike anything else. Sure, my grandparents had died and I had felt sad. But this was worse. It physically felt like someone had ripped my heart out and was stomping all over. She was dead. I felt tears welling up in my eyes, and I didn't even bother to wipe them away. One of my tears landed on her cheek and I moved to wipe it away.
"I remember that time that I died in that hallway. You brought me back. You said that you weren't afraid anymore. But I was still afraid and I lost you. I brought you back but I don't think I can this time. But this time I've lost everything."
I was holding her in my arms, expecting her to wake.
I woke with a start. The left side of my body was cold and covered with lines from the metal floor. I knew I couldn't stay here too much longer. I lifted Trinity up in my arms and took her to the med bay. Laying her on the metal table, I looked around, surprised at how everything seemed to be intact. I wandered to the mess hall and got some water. It looked alright and when I took a small sip it tasted alright. I decided it was safe to drink. Not that it mattered. I didn't care if I lived if I didn't have Trinity with me. I was going to go back to the med bay, but I wound up at the doors to the living quarters. I realized how tired I was and stumbled into one of the rooms and was asleep before I hit the bed.
