Dreaming While You Sleep

Maybe he can give it back, eventually. Maybe that hole in her chest where her heart used to be...maybe the vital organ can be replaced.

She's just sleeping. She's just waiting. Like Blades wait, so too can she.

He is allowed to be selfish. He is allowed to hold on.

And when Lora reaches out her hand, still with eyes closed, like an angel, like an apparition, like a premonition, Jin holds out his own in response.

(It shakes. But she is so perfectly, everlastingly still.)

What is she seeing? What is she dreaming?

Surely, better things than he.
