    "I guess that might be best."
  2. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Mostly. Just still a bit shaken, I guess."
  3. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Well, it is. I chose to say it." They shrugged, and stumbled again.
  4. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm sorry. I guess I shouldn't have brought it up."
  5. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Okay. I just need enough time to prove to you that you shouldn't."
  6. The Aspiring Archivist
    Erin looked him in the eyes, now dead serious. "Mike, promise me that you won't try to hurt yourself again. Please."
  7. The Aspiring Archivist
    Erin frowned at him. "You really aren't. I promise."
  8. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Not because of you. Despite your efforts, maybe. You aren't hurting people."
  9. The Aspiring Archivist
    Erin stumbled for a moment, but didn't quite fall. "So, we'll be rejoining your group?"
  10. The Aspiring Archivist
    They took it gratefully. "You'll be fine?"
  11. The Aspiring Archivist
    They shivered. "It's... cold. That's new."
  12. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I should be fine." Erin stood up, somewhat shakily. Their robe fluttered in a gust of cold wind.
  13. The Aspiring Archivist
    Erin grimaced. "I guess that's probably the best option."
  14. The Aspiring Archivist
    Erin grew somber. "Technically, yes. But I don't think they'd want to see me."
  15. The Aspiring Archivist
    "That's what I was asking."
  16. The Aspiring Archivist
    "It is quite comfortable."
  17. The Aspiring Archivist
    They didn't seem to quite catch the implication of his words. "So, what now?"
  18. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm really glad I stopped you from jumping." They laughed too. "I saved you, you saved me. It's like we were meant to find each other."
  19. The Aspiring Archivist
    Their eyes swam with tears. "This has been quite an eventful fifteen minutes, huh?"
  20. The Aspiring Archivist
    "No. No, I'm okay now." They began to pull away, then collapsed back into Mike's arms. "How about you? Did you get hurt?"
  21. The Aspiring Archivist
    "It hurt so, so badly."
  22. The Aspiring Archivist
    After a moment that seemed to last far too long, Erin drew in a deep breath, and began to sob into Mike's shoulder.
  23. The Aspiring Archivist
    Suddenly, the light faded, as though expelled from them through the smoke. Erin went still, unbreathing.
  24. The Aspiring Archivist
    They began to convulse violently, screams continuing with a raw voice. Then they stopped, and Erin stilled to a light twitching. Mike heard a hoarse whisper. "Kill me. Please."
  25. The Aspiring Archivist
    They embraced him back. "It's okay. It's not your fault." The glow continued to increase, well past its former strength. Erin's body grew extremely hot to the touch, and they stumbled back. Then, they doubled over and began to scream in agony.
