As Bryan tears cloth from his coat to wrap around the wounds, Asher's hands come to rest on his.
"Don't..." he said weakly.
"You're on the farthest side of the building. You can't waste time. Get Cassie out."
He glances at Cassidy. Their eyes met then - his tired, hers teary. All sorts of emotions cross through her expression. But what stands out the most is worry.
And he doesn't deserve it.
"We're not leaving you behind, Asher..." Bryan muttered firmly.
"If Sir Edward says we can make it, then we can-"
"I'm all right with a death like this..." Asher cut him off, smiling up at Cassidy.
"I did so many stupid things, and to be honest, I didn't think I could face any of you anymore."
He sees Cassidy break down at that moment. Tears of anger and sadness begin to fall from her eyes. Bryan proceeds to hasten his handiwork, trying his hardest to secure his life. He wouldn't let him die regardless of what kind of bullshit he said.
