[ "Now, whenever. I'll listen when you need me, too." She smiles again. ] Me, too. [ To both that promise to listen and that "hypocrite" part. In some ways, they really are too similar.

Her only hope is that she'll not be putting too much on him at once, for she knows he already has so much of his own troubles. ] Then... sit with me?

[ She'll guide him over to sit at the edge of the building with her, just as she had found him before all of this began. They have watched the sunrise before together; perhaps it's about time they cherished the sunset as well. Her hand continues to remain in his, while the other balls into a small fist upon her thigh, then relaxes. ] I'm... [ She draws a in a breath. ] tempted to help you with your fate.

[ There it is. It hadn't been so much of a temptation before now-- now, now that she loves him even more than before. He knows her wants, she's even said it before that she doesn't want him to die, but acting upon those wants is something else. ]

You know how I feel... [ Changing the future so carelessly is wrong, to say nothing of the slew of so many other things. It's wishful thinking, among other things. However, she-- ] And you know I-- I have a unique power regarding the future.

That's what I've been thinking about of not harming you, when someone reminded me of it. [ Her shoulders slump with a new weight and guilt, but it's both weight and guilt that's been surfaced instead of remaining inside. She speaks solemnly. ] My inaction... it harms you, too, doesn't it? [ She looks away from him, down to their held hands.

She doesn't know what to do, it's as if she'll hurt him either way. ]
