i will follow you into the dark;
a darker shipping meme

It's the end of the line for you.. No matter how long you've been here on this planet, in this universe, that time is over now. Pain wracks your body, or perhaps it doesn't as you drift away from this life. All that remains is that ever fading light -

And the face of the one you care for the most.

For they are joining you on this last journey, as difficult or as easy as it can be. This could have been planned - you wanted to die together - or you both happened to be in the same place at the same time. Your world could be crashing down around you in a final armageddon; you could not be missed, the world turning without you two in it. One of you brought this onto you both; you tried to save your companion. You killed them yourself. It was all an accident...this wasn't supposed to happen...

How you've come to this doesn't matter so much in hindsight, though your sight is dimming as it as. What does matter is how you spend these last few moments with the person who means so much to you. If you're lucky, the two of you have lived a long, happy life together. Those who find themselves faced with a more tragic ending will have just realized their feelings for each other.

You don't have long, only a few moments. Make of them what you can. Reveal your secrets, touch their hand one last time, give them an embrace or a kiss. Apologize, if you see fit. Do what you did in life, but make it count and hope that you will see them again somehow.

[ ooc: this could be tear-jerking ]

He just can't have a romance that doesn't end tragically.

[This has canonically happened to him at least once in a past life, so... it'd be unsurprising if it happened again.]

[probably about to face down the baddy du jour. maybe something set in the night before or literally dying from injuries for maximum angst. kaiba will be a lot more open than usual so a great opportunity for some Feels. hit me up with your ideas, i'm open to absolutely everything and everyone here!]
