(Cracks knuckles. Time for the grand finale. This has been an epic and tragic journey you've taken me on, friend.)

I look at Chesh, thinking about how much we've been through. First losing Ware, then Hells, now... Now it looks like we're finally out of time. I smile at her, knowing these are our last few hours. I pull her face to mine, kissing her.

I tell her that after everything we've been through, I loved all of them. It hurt when Ware died, even more seeing Hells succumb. Now we're both waiting to follow, and I know there's only one thing we can do.

"Can we... I mean I just want to spend these last moments in your arms." I agree, sinking down to sit with her in my lap as we grab our last hope. Holding my pistol I wait for a few moments as she drifts off to sleep. When I'm sure she's asleep I pull the trigger.

There's no sound, no scream, not even a sharp breath as she slips away, still in my arms. I lay her on the floor, grabbing her rifle and aiming through the gates. I won't leave a friend to this damned world. Pulling again Hells falls, not that it impede's the oncoming horde in the slightest. Laying Chesh's rifle down next to her I lay on her other side, pistol back in hand.

I look next to me, at her, and say a silent prayer to whoever might still be listening. Then, I pull for the third, and last, time. I can only hope they're all there. Waiting for me, wherever we are.
