She will carry him.
She had come here to save them all, she knows (she remembers, like the verses of a fairy tale memorised so carefully in a time so far away), to forfeit friendship for their safety, to be alone but not bereft.
But her plans had been turned as neatly as her world, and she realises now that they had always been the saviours and that she had never been alone.
There had been companionship, even here, as best they knew how, as far as they could reach.
And if she could not single-handedly save them all, then she will at least carry his heart clasped so close between her palms.
