It's been a year since Alfred saw the tsundere Englishman. It's been many more years since Alfred last said "I love you." The nation of Britain had fallen the previous year, meaning that Arthur had gone with it. Francis seemed devastated as well as the others but, Alfred hurt the most. The cheerful American didn't smile anymore, he didn't stuff food in his mouth like before and he didn't state that he was the hero. He had been visiting Arthur in London when everything stopped. Alfred heard the screams of the townspeople as he saw a huge flame erupt from a store. Children wailed as Arthur ran outside, beginning to choke from the thick smoke. Alfred felt like he was back in the Chicago fire...the fire spreading, people running and Arthur in the middle of it all, on his knees. The fire lasted for hours and spread across the nation as Alfred stayed by the Brit's side. "Alfred..hey don't cry.." Tears leaked from Alfred's eyes as he looked around at the burnt remains of the once so beautiful London. "Hey cheer up, nations die but we get remembered...C-Could you remember me??" Arthur choked out. The whole country had been set ablaze, seeing as the state of Florida was bigger then it. Alfred nodded, the tears pouring from his eyes as Arthur went limp in his arms, muttering his last words of,"I love you...."
