[div style="margin: 0 auto; border-width:0; width: 70%; text-align: justify; line-height: 1.5; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;"]As tightly as he tried to hold on to Junji, it was hard not to notice the way he was slowly slipping away. It was far from the first time someone had died in his arms, but it was definitely the first time that he was trying to prevent it from happening. Failure mixed with dread, hanging over him in a dark cloud as the life faded from Junji's weakened body. "No, no, nonono," he murmured through the thick corruption that lingered in his mouth, burying his nose in the feline's fur. He still smelled of the ocean and vanilla, and Luca clung to that to distract himself from the approaching smell of darkness and death.
Perhaps he was too upset to notice, or maybe he just didn't care anymore, but the transfer of his powers was beginning to fade. All of them were. Darkness crept through his veins, tainted by the desperate attempt to bring his love from the brink of death. His body trembled and shuddered in a weak attempt to fight off this rapidly spreading infection, but it was clearly too late for him. In trying to save Junji, he had robbed their children of two parents. He no longer looked to God for forgiveness, but he hoped that Marcel wouldn't hold it against him too much. He sobbed into Junji's limp body, choked by a combination of tears and tar. It had always been too good to be true, the connection that he and the angel shared. It was a love that he had never deserved, so this result should probably have been expected. That didn't make it hurt any less though. His stomach heaved and twisted, and he grit his teeth as he held on to the feline for dear life.
Of course, it was only a matter of time before his tight grip began to falter. The tears slowed and then stopped entirely, a sense of stillness encompassing the scene as the couple finally found peace. Luca's limbs slacked and he fell limp, although his arms remained wrapped around Junji in one final embrace. He breathed his last breath into the pale fur of his companion, sinking into the comfort of the abyss.
