I only have 4 more nights to spend with Neil and honestly it hurts so goddamn much. And I could only pray for time to go slower. And as usual after loads of work, it was time for sleep.

Once I opened my eyes, there stood in front of me was Neil. Tonight he looked much more...transparent. He wasn't blurred, still very clear it's just that he was transparent. "Neil? What's wrong with you why are you so cleared up?"

He took a hold of my arm, well barely, and pointed at my watch. Watch I never took off, not ever in my life. I always liked keeping track of my time. And I suppose him pointing at my watch means he's running out of time. Fuck. I'm gonna lose him all over again.

Neil then reaches over me to hand me something. It's his crown. He puts it on my head and smiles, chuckling a little bit. "Wha-What's this? Why are you giving me this." And he only smiles. Right he can't talk.

"Umh... if this some kind of gift?" He nods. "But this is your crown. One you wore on your play." And he nods again. I only sighed since I knew I wasn't going to be able to talk to him properly. "You know what, I want to give you something too." And I took off my watch and placed it on his wrist.

He tilted his head, as to ask why. And so I answered, "Well umh, to give you more time. It sounds stupid I know but yeah..." Breathing heavily, my chest tightened. And I think he noticed because he came in to hug me. Still airy but it was still comfortable.

And for the first time I heard him. He didn't say anything he only went 'shh'. And from that moment I started crying.
