There is still so much he doesn't understand, but the strength of just one memory this side of the veil is equivalent to ten of those from before. There is a reason for that, and a reason for why they feel so real. Attempting to dispute the truth any longer would be like choosing to remain ignorant. It isn't something he can allow of himself, particularly at the cost of Emily's safety.

He steps closer to his companion, gaze sweeping over the ashen remains of the eyes that had threatened them. Versus her explosive power, they didn't stand a chance. That reminds him of someone, he thinks...
...and, as if on cue, a pair of hands slip through the curtain of his hair, fingers teasing the ends as they brush against the pale slope of his neck.
they deserved more time together :c
