SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
It was a testament to his newfound strength that Sam's mind immediately replied: yes, they would, to Remi. Nate would miss him, as would Maea, Jigano, Evie, Wessex, Rexanna...even Amalia in her own way, might, especially given their new family revelations.
Though it was true he'd made plenty of mistakes when it came to Remi. Remi had been his first relationship after a very long time alone and he'd gone into it blindly, knocking over everything he could in the panic of trying to be a good partner. The more recent things...well, he didn't feel any guilt at all about attempting to bite Ronin. The man had been trying to bring down the temple and if he hadn't been stopped, who knew what destruction could have come next?
That Remi could so easily threaten him was devastating. Yet Sam found that his instincts told him not to give in - that that would lose the Alchemist forever. No, he had to challenge this, no matter how hard it was. He had to let Remi try his best to be the darkest he could be, so he'd see he wasn't destined for it.
Pressing his hands into fists (and mentally saying goodbye to Nate, just in case), he spoke. "Do it then, Remi. Go on."
