The End


[YES]

His face vanishes.

It's done.

I may not know what that was, or what it wants him for. But If it's trying to get him through me, then it really has to be over, Leo. Having any way to contact him is dangerous. Who knows what it could make me say, or do?

Hopefully he'll never set foot here again. He'll never see me again.

Fuck you for forcing me to hope that.

It's gonna hurt, I know. If it hurts the rest of my life, well, alright. I'll find a way to make it the good hurt, yeah? The kind that makes it feel like it matters.

But I promised to protect him. And I will

Even from me.

...and what're you gonna do about it, ghost fucker? Make me haunt the ruins of Echo forever, crying over how I'm never gonna see him again?

Too damn late.

That's already my life.

[THE END]

(delete him)

[DELETE HIM] I look at his face in the contacts for a long time. I think about all the times I told myself I'd sacrifice anything to have him back. Looks like I finally found the one thing I won't sacrifice. Him. DELETE CONTACT? [NO!] [YES] ...

[YOU'RE... SOMEONE ELSE] Chase: How can I... be someone else, whatever that means, if it's your dream? Leo: Bullshit. Leo: I may not know what this is, but I know it isn't a dream. He looks upset. Leo: I don't know who, or what, you are. I don't...
