'I'm so sorry, Azure!'
'I'm so sorry I can't be with you anymore.'
'Please, forgive me!'
These were all the things Mortis was thinking.
He was planning to end his life to end the suffering.
He didn't know how long he had already survived, but it didn't matter anymore.
He only wanted to end it.
'I can't live like this.'
'I'm sorry!'
Mortis continued thinking these thoughts.
He continued repeating them.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Yet, for some reason, he never actually went through with it.
Something inside of him was telling him to hang on just a bit longer.
He only had to hang on a bit longer.
Just a little bit.
Azure's face shot through Mortis' mind.
He imagined her crying after realizing that she wouldn't see him again.
He imagined her choosing death over a lonely life.
He imagined the kids he could have in the future.
