...Hey.
...Oh, you already noticed. Yeah, they patched up my leg. Said it's gonna take a few weeks to recover. Apparently I was pretty lucky. One bullet almost (inaudible) off.
[INAUDIBLE.]
Yeah. I know. You don't have to repeat what happened. I was the one that was shot.
Just forget it. Did you get my journal?
[INAUDIBLE.]
Thank you.
...
Hey.
Noir?
Why did you fucking do that?
[INAUDIBLE.]
No. I mean why did you step in. At all.
This is my job. You know I have to do this. You know if I get hurt, that's on me as a detective. As someone who willingly throws themselves away, for the sake of slamming another indolent group of criminals behind bars. That's what I do.
But you don't care.
And then you step in,
Make the lights flicker,
Scare my suspects,
And kill,
Every
Single
One.
...
Why do you not get it.
I've told you this. Over and over again.
NOT to step in. NOT to involve yourself. NOT to DO ANYTHING unless I'm SCREAMING out for HELP, GOD DAMMIT.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN ME THAT I COULD HANDLE IT ON MY OWN?
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.
AND YOU'VE ONLY BEEN EXISTING FOR CENTURIES.
WE'RE NOT THE SAME. BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET IT. I HAVE IT ALL UNDER CONTROL.
STOP SAVING ME, STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD, STOP COMING BACK! STOP TRYING TO BE MY HERO!
[INAUDIBLE.]
...
...You killed all my suspects.
I have no evidence left. That's why I'm mad. I lost all of my progress. My discoveries, my slow progress to uncovering this shitfest, all gone.
Because you got scared I was going to die.
...
See?
You don't even like it when I say it.
Death. My death. You can't stand it. And you're not good at pretending to hide it.
Maybe because you don't want to.
...
Maybe because you...
Already...
...
Noir,
I'm sorry.
I've been so mean lately, haven't I?.
You just saved my life. And here I am, bitching and moaning about something entirely different. God, I'm so stubborn. I don't know how you just...Sit there and take it.
I could've been thanking you sooner. I could've held out an arm to you, gestured you to come closer. Maybe we would be kissing by now if I wasn't..
Not..Appreciating the seconds we have right now.
I should do that more..I should..Do that now.
I..Should..Before I..
...
...You shuddered.
I didn't even say it, and you still shuddered.
[INAUDIBLE]
N..No. No, I'm not gonna..
I..I'm not...
...I..
...
I'm so sorry.
Oh, god, I'm so sorry.
...
I. I (inaudible).
And...And I just..You deserve [someone] better. You deserve it.
And...You will.
Maybe soon.
Maybe very soon.
Maybe even...In the morning.
I don't know.
I can't..Tell you.
I don't want to.
But maybe soon.
...
C..Can..(inaudible) Please..Can we just...
Can you come over here. Please.
Just. I want to see you. Under the light. Just a little. Enough to see your figure.
...
Hi.
I don't tell you how pretty you are often. But you are. To me. Always.
I'm just..
Fuck, everything hurts.
Just please-
Wait-
Don't-
Please...I..No, you're- gonna (inaudible) if you..
Don't...Hug...
...
God..God dammit.
You don't like to listen.
["I LOVE YOU"]
I love you too.
Please hold me tighter.
I'm serious. I love you too.
Do you hear me?
I love you too.
I love you too...
