"I HOPE YOU LIKE THE STARS I STOLE FOR YOU."

NO ONE WAS QUITE SURE HOW IT HAPPENED, BUT SOMEHOW OR OTHER, APPEND HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED.

AS OF NOW, HE LIES STRAPPED TO A TABLE, HAVING OCCASIONAL BUT INEXPLICABLE SEIZURES AND TWITCHING. ONE OF HIS BRILLIANT BLUE EYES HAS GONE DULL, THE OTHER FAR TOO BRIGHT.

LEN SOBS AT HIS SIDE, SQUEEZING HIS HAND. HE'D JUST RECEIVED THE NEWS THAT APPEND WAS BEYOND REPAIR, AND WOULD HAVE TO BE DEACTIVATED.

THE SCIENTISTS ARE ABOUT TO CUT THE POWER, BUT THEN APPEND STARTS THRASHING, DESPERATELY FIGHTING HIS RESTRAINTS.

LEN WHIMPERS, STROKING HIS HAND. THE MOTION CALMS THE OLDER BLOND DOWN, AND HE SETTLES, CRYING HIMSELF.

THE SCIENTISTS MOVE ONCE AGAIN TO DEACTIVATE HIM. HE ACCEPTS HIS FATE, BUT MEETS LEN'S EYES. THEY'RE WHAT HE WANTS TO REMEMBER FOREVER, THE LAST THING HE SEES.

WHEN THEIR EYES MEET, HE WHISPERS GENTLY TO THE BOY HE LOVES, "I HOPE YOU LIKE THE STARS I STOLE FOR YOU."

HE GENTLY CLOSES HIS EYES, AND LEN WEEPS AT HIS SIDE AS APPEND L IS DEACTIVATED ON SUNDAY, MAY 19TH, 2019 AT 9:14AM.
