Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
There's nothing left. There's nothing left. There's nothing left.
The words repeat themselves in his mind ad infinitum, ad nauseam. He can't ignore them, because they're true. His people and planet, lost from time for ever. His Rose, the woman he adores beyond all reason - his light against the darkness, the lover who'd never (willingly) leave him - gone where he cannot reach her.
He's tired, sad, and lonely. He's old, so old; used to have so much mercy, for everyone (including himself). But now? He's desperately tired of it, now; just wants all the pain to end.
"Then kill me!"
