She's falling. And I can do nothing.
The little guy manages to cath her, while all I can do is stand there and watch.
She's like my little sister. I'm supposed to protect her. I told her she would be safe. But there was nothing I could do. There's still nothing I can do.
She was supposed to live. We were supposed to save her. But instead, she died to save us.
Buddy, there's nothing you can do. There's nothing any of us can do.
Seeing him hold her like that, I see now what they had. How often had I teased him that he might feel something for her? How often did I taunt him about what might happen if he made a move. I should have done more...for both of them. But now it's too late. I've failed.
Even the animal inside him knows. It's come out now, to howl its grief. We should have known: no part of him could ever have brought her harm, because every part of him loved her.
What are you looking for now? There's nothing to find. Her vitals are flat. She's gone.
No, man. Not the white fire. That took her from us, don't you start using it to. Even magic can't raise the dead.
What are you slashing at, around her body? Are you trying to preserve her? Make her body eternal after her soul has left it? Don't such spells need more than just a single swipe over the body? Are you attacking something there?
Dude, resce breathing won't help now. She's gone...beyond our reach...she's-
She's breathing.
She lives.
You brought her back. She's opened her eyes.
And still, all I can do is stand here.
Twice she fell, and twice she has risen, and I still did nothing. As she puts her arms around you, all I can think of is how you did what I could not.
But then again, that's my nature, isn't it? Half-man, half-machine. Half-hero, half-failure. Just a-
"Yo! BB! PDA, dude! Get a room why don't you."
You look up from her to smirk at me, then grin as you lift her up into your arms, and carry her bridal style back to the tower. In her white robe, it looks so picturesque.
Maybe it's enough for me, right now, to be your family. To be your friend.
...And to tease you about this unmercilessly as often as possible! BOOYAH!
