[ Now, only she's left. No longer on fire, but charred. Slumped and trudging towards him. Blood running down her burned arm from the mirror. ]
Alex... Alex... You can't...do this to me...
[ Far away and consciousness gone. A voice in the dark, pleading, dammit, you can't do this to me, and he feels himself drawn back, unable to leave her.
Alex approaches her slowly. ]
I- ... I'm sorry for leaving you all alone. [ The corpse reaches for him in shaky stock-motion. Alex closes his eyes, and there- she's before him, same as she was. Light smile, blue eyes, bright hair. Looking at him. Only him. ] Clear... Whatever happened- ...whatever happens.
[ (How can you say this, when you know what has to happen? How can you feel this?)
Alex embraces the contradiction; he'll accept whatever pain it causes later. ]
I love you.
[ And a fireball engulfs her, reducing her to ashes with a horrible, blood-curdling scream. ]
