[ he folds into david easily, hesitating before his arms come up to embrace him too. maybe it's a good thing he worked himself into a frenzy about it earlier. now that it's come to pass, all he feels is empty. ]

... Why couldn't it be me, man?

[helpdesk_hero]

[He doesn't have a good answer for that. Hell, he doesn't have a bad answer for it either. His fingers reached up to stroke Josh's hair.]

Because life is never fucking fair to you, Josh. I fucking hate it. It's like the universe is punching down. And I'm sorry. For you, and her.

[resurrxion]

It's not me that's its not fair to.

[ his voice wavers, cracking unbidden. ]

She wanted to live so fucking bad, man.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know.

[She had lived so much. And it still wasn't enough. It would never be enough. It could never be enough.]

I... I am going to hope another world like this took her. Still isn't fair. But I believe she is still out there living. And she would want you to keep going.
