74 Maka Albarn [Voice]

I know we’re going to beat this like we always do, but…I don’t want to leave anything unsaid, just in case. [There’s a drawn out silence before she sighs.] I'm not giving up. [But it's a lot harder to ignore the week when she's started to feel the affects.]

That’s all.

[He had been sure he hadn't seen this initially. The experiment had been explained, he took precautionary measures but already things weren't making sense. Jet paused a long while before deciding to respond, a whole day later.]

"Yeah. I could never.."

[He hates this feeling. like someone's taking all the possible thoughts his head can and scooping them out with melon baller. The ideas are there, he just can't act on them. He's in the chair again. They're filling his mind with lies again-]

"This isn't the end."

If it is...[Ugh, it's so hard to think, to remember all of the things she wanted to say. She hates it, but at the same time the hate almost feels dulled.]

I love you still. Sorry. [That was what she was supposed to say, but it doesn't feel right. It was too easy.]

"Don't-"

[The protest slips out, before Jet can even comprehend its meaning. Don't what? Don't say such things? Don't put him in this predicament? Don't mean those words? He bites his lip.]

"..It's better if you don't."

[He shifts his eyes towards Maka, even if past arguments have proven she likely won't be returning the contact, and wracks his brain for a way to vocalize his thoughts.]

"Never give up."

Sorry. [It would be better, but she can't. She doesn't remember why it would be better, but it would.]

I won't...I can't...We're not supposed to.
