Disclaimer: I do not own Talia Gladys from Gundam Seed Destiny.
Introduction: A short take on Talia's thoughts and also a bit of her history as she saw Rey shot Gilbert Dullindal and of her regrets afterwards as she cradles Gil's body before her and then hugged Rey.
A short collection of poems or drabbles based on the three dead characters of Gundam Seed Destiny in episode 50.
Title: Death at its best
"Die with me." He spoke as she lowered down her ears onto his mouth as he motioned that he had something to speak to her about.
She saw Rey shooting Gil, the man that she had been in love ever since they first met in December City. Yes, he is her first love. It was she who initiated their dating and also she who initiated her break-up with him.
Rey. Her son. The clone whom she gave her eggs to. She had another son. A son who is borne by her with another man… a man whom fell in love with her in Orb... the man who lived with the Ultimate Coordinator and the Pink Princess in two years of peace in the world. Her son was now living with his father in the orphanage without knowing that he is his father.
She had given her youth to the now Chairman of ZAFT and PLANTS. But she also did throw her love away of him. And now the chairman wants to be dead with her. If they could not be together when they were alive, then they should be together in death.
The Ultimate Coordinator asked her to leave with him. No, she would not. She would rather accompany the soul of the man whom she had given and thrown her life with than to live without her love. She told this to him. Then, she asked for him to tell Captain Ramius of her wish to have her son visited by her.
As time went by, she knew that Rey was crying all along to himself. Now, its time for her to recognise her 'son'. She called for him. And he looks at her. As he walks to her, wobbling; an unexplainable feeling of sadness and regret filled up her heart. She had given away her love, youth or life to the two men before her but have did nothing to achieve nothingness. Not even peace, as she and her Gil had dreamt of, between Naturals and Coordinators…
She knew the clone needs her console and she consoled him, even as the sadness and regret in her etched even deeper into her heart. But she ignored those angst feelings, just pulling Rey into her shoulders.
As she felt his tears dropping onto her shoulder, her tears fell too.
Gil grasped her hand even tighter and repeated, "Die with me." At the last moment before he breathed his last.
As explosions rocked around them and Rey hugged her tighter to himself, Talia muttered into the clone's ear "Death at its best, we as family, will always stay together."

Author notes: 437 words. As I write the last few sentences, I just can feel the urge to drop my tears. Full of angst here. Hope you have feelings for this drabble. Please read and review, I urge. Thank you.
