OS Prompt 1.8 - I need this one thing from you.

Peri?

(everything is stopping, he can feel all he needs to live slowing down, grinding to a halt and it might not start anew, he doesn't know)

Peri, you must listen, I don't have much Time…

(Time is slow and he can still see her face, pale with dread and drawn with exhaustion, still young)

I know you're scared.

(so is he, the darkness bites at his vision but he can't let it not yet not yet, he needs to finish, doesn't matter if she can't hear)

I know you're still grieving.

(so is he, everyone dies, and so does he and he can't leave her alone, not her too)

No matter what happens…

(he can't see her anymore, replaced by visions of his past, cherished memories pressing him into new life)

I need this one thing from you.

(never forget, stay strong, don't give up, keep your compassion, don't let this break you, remember remember remember)

Live.

Watch as he struggles to pretend that he minds any longer.
