The small mine under my feet beeped. I was either going to be stuck here or... well.... dead. Ludwig's face slowly turned white as the realization of the situation sunk in.
I laughed, thinking of something to say. Then. a song popped into my head.
"I am Damaged..." I say, feeling the blood on my coat spread.
"far too Damaged..." He mutters something, but I can't hear him.
"but.... you're not beyond repair." I look at him. bruised, broken, bleeding. he can be saved. My shattered arm and collapsed lung are definitely something else.
"please stand back now." he takes three steps.
"little further," I say, glancing at the ever beeping mine. "not sure what this thing will do..."
He backs up more, tears pouring down his face. For the first time in his life as my Captain, he's the one listening to me now. I smile.
Romano..... Seborga...... Japan..... Germany.
"Hope you miss me, wish you'd kiss me, then you'd know I worship you..." I say, closing my eyes and bracing myself.
"I'd trade my life for yours."
"Oh mein Gott...."
"And once I disappear..."
"just hold on-"
"clean up the mess down here!" I ignore his frantic pleas for mercy.
"not this way..."
"Our Love is God," I say, twice before he finally repeats me, but he only says the short phrase once.
"our love is God..." I say, one final time.
"say hi to god." He said, and I stepped off.
The mine exploded.
PAIN. SILENCE.
Then.... nothing.
Maybe one Day they'd forgive me for being such an fool.
such an idiot.
Maybe.
