Don't forget, Alex. That's the only ending for you. [ Her eyes close against Caster's shoulder, trying to cling to his words instead. But it was hard when Barry was proven right time and time again. His voice that choked on blood tainted the hopeful words Caster would give her, no matter how much she wanted to believe them. He made her almost believe them. However, it felt like the moment she were to claim such a thing, everything would be lost.
Her sobs are soft, muffled by the fabric of his clothing, her tears dampening his shoulder. Her fingers clung to his cloak, but she couldn't bring herself to fully embrace him. Doing so would feel like embracing all her feelings, and she may not be able to let go.
Just a few seconds. She just needed a few seconds. She was allowed that much, wasn't she? ]
