Travis's POV

"I love you."

Her last words echoed in my head. Over and over again I hear her last breath leave her body. Every time I close my eyes I see hers. The little sparkle she had in her eyes replaced by a cold, blank stare. Aphmau and the others tried to pull me out of it, but nothing worked. Their words unheard. Their attempts unseen. I had cried so many times it was becoming difficult to see. I would sleep in a tree a few meters away from her grave. We would come here to relax and unwind. To forget all the troubles of O'kasis and Tu'la. Now all that happened here was mourning. I still had her gauntlets. The vessels that carried the fists that I knew so well. I missed her. I couldn't think. I can't do anything anymore. She was the light that shown through the darkness of my past. And now that light has faded. Leaving me as food for my demons. The voices in my head were relentless.

You killed her

You're worthless without her

She never loved you

I could feel my my head start to throb. Days, Weeks, Months I had to endure those voices. But one day I couldn't take the pain. All of my attempts to get better had been in vain. My grip on reality was fading. I couldn't tell what was real and what was just in my head anymore. Everything became so dark, so cold. The only 3 things I knew were real were Katelyn's gauntlets, the rope I had made, and the tree next to Katelyn. I set out to combine all those things. I stumbled over to the tree. The only thing that had given me a glint of happiness since her. With shaky hands I tied the rope perfectly and hung it from a high branch. I stuck my head through the opening and tightened it. I took Katelyn's gauntlets and used the knuckles to pierce my chest. The pain made me stumble and fall. As the darkness began to surround me I let out my last words.

"I love you too"
