you'd be the one to understand me

SAMUEL

Do you remember what you said to me?
'Cause we lost track of time

Sam couldn't quite meet the Voice's eyes during her pause, fearful he had pushed too far, been too rude in the face of someone he had only just reconciled with. He'd never been very good at knowing what was appropriate, after all. Thankfully, after the moment's silence she was amenable to his request and he let out a relieved sigh, a smile taking over his face as he felt his recovered upgrade restore itself back into his body.

The tasks ahead were fearsome, but Sam was prepared, or at least as much as he could be. In a lot of ways he still felt like the scared little boy he had been when this had all began, but the sights and experiences of the last few years had given him an armour that was beginning to harden, the cracks filling in.



{FIN}

Yeah, we lost track of time
You always let me down so tenderly
