"... I have made a decision"
"Yeah?"
Tumblr media
"You asked me before, remember? Of what I think about the law?"
"Yeah? You said something about fairness"
"I did.
Ángel you are not being fair, to me or yourself.
This place could keep us aging forever, yes.
But we won't be alive"
"Uh, you're using synonyms"
"I'm not
You know why Coli died?"
"Because we pushed him out the window?"
"Well, I pushed him out the window, not us..."
"He was already dead
He was so blinded by the fear of running out of time that he didn't realize all of what he had accomplished during that time. Never taking a second to enjoy it"
"He lived in fear of the clock"
"And now, look at us, look at how far we've made it! All the things we've accomplished! We've survived all these years with no supernatural help!
We are alive! We are living!"
"I understand not wanting to die. believe me, I don't want to go through it again
But what's the point of aging forever if we are trapped here, unable to enjoy everything life has for us?
I'd rather live a short and happy life than an endless stagnant one"
"I mean, C'mon, A man like you, daring and full energy, trapped in this coffin of a house? It's unfair"
"I promised that I'd save you from this place. And I will"
"I can't tell you what will happen tomorrow, or the day after or the day after"
Tumblr media
"But I want to find out with you"
"Even if the sky breaks tomorrow, and all stars fall to the earth
If I have you by my side, then it will all be worth it"
Tumblr media
"... Aren't you scared? Of running out of time?"
" Yeah, of course.
That's why I want to enjoy it, to use the little time we have here to be happy.
To love my family, my friends, my pet, places, food, Tv shows, everything!
That's what it is all about, Ángel. Can't you see it?"
"I want you to come home with me"
"I want to share the time I have on this earth with you
If it's with you, I can face anything"
Tumblr media
"But what about everything that happened? Don't you want to forget it?"
"Well, I certainly don't enjoy the memory of being stabbed
But I really enjoy the memories of you"
"Even if they were bad?"
"That's just how it is, isn't it? This isn't my first time in a deeply traumatic house.
If I could go and erase all the bad memories from my mind, I would be tempted to "
"But not at this cost. This whole night, it's too valuable for me now to forget it"
Tumblr media
"Do you understand? I'll stay by your side."
"All the dangers, the uncertainties, the rock bottoms, the bad memories
We'll live through them, hand in hand"
"And we'll be okay"
"We'll see the sunrise"
Tumblr media
"I'm sorry for not saving you"
"It was not your fault"
"I'm sorry for not being enough"
"That's just not true"
"...Please don't die again"
"I'll do my best."
"... Do you really want this? Me of all people?"
"Of course"
"We might fight, or have issues"
"So?"
"I want to see the chickens"
"There's duckies too"
"I'd like to see them"
"C'mon, dont you wanna steal something so I can pursue you through some roofs?"
"...Hah, you're even offering crime to cheer me up"
"You can get one crime, a gift from me"
"I'll steal a national treasure"
"I don't doubt it"
They stay like that for a while
"I know I won't automatically change his mind now, and we'll probably have to go through this conversation again.
But that's okay, it's going to be a slow walk out of this hole we've been put through
But we'll get out, mangled and scarred, but out
I can't wait to show him my cat
What is that smell?"
Tumblr media
"OH FUCK THE FIRE"
"Wha- THE FIRE!!"
"Quick! Where's the room?!"
"Ah, here here, let's go"
"Why do we keep forgetting the fire?!"
"It's the fire's fault for not being more obvious"
