Lovely writing of a scene that still makes me cry.

"because he’s the only one trying to save her but instead he’s falling apart, too... exactly what they don't need..."

Very true. Oh the places they could go, but it's so much easier to keep doing the same thing, over and over. Really makes you see them, and though they do see each other, the art is keeping that fact secret. Very intense little story, thanks for sharing.
