"I'll settle with BISON then. In exchange for Aer." said Demitri. Ruthlessness is obvious on his face. "I'll give you half an hour to sort everything out, Adam." He commanded.

Adam holds my arm tight, hugging me. I shut my eyes. I'm not sure of everything that is happening. "I'm prepared for this," he hugged me closely, for a long time we are in each other's embrace.

Love him more than you love me. I'm sure he'll love you more than I did. Farewell..." his voice trails away. I open my eyes. He's no longer here. From a distant, through ARROW, I see everything that happen. Taking off BISON, he becomes vulnerable to Demitri. Everything happens so swift that I forget to breathe at all. The next thing I know, my vision dimmed. And I'm pulled away from everything. Everything that I've ever known.
