Bad sign when the doc shows up and it's to see you off.

[76 manages a laugh like she's just told a joke, but the blood in his throat has him choked up, so it sounds halfhearted. It's an apt choice of words, though, and very telling when she doesn't even make an attempt to treat him, not that he really minds. The futility of it is obvious, and he wouldn't want her wasting her time.

He does, however, lean into her when she reaches out to him, allowing himself the reprieve. When she tells him she's alone (for now, at least), there's a wave of relief. No need for the rest of them to see him like this--there's no need for them to mourn him twice, but if he has to die in front of someone, he's glad it's Angela. She was with him when he died (for all intents and purposes) the first time, too.

He peels his glove away from where Reyes' shotgun punched him through the abdomen, bringing it up to his visor, but his fingers are slick with blood and he can't get a grip on the clasps.

Give me a hand with this.
