;_; Like everyone else, I was going to say "Oh, my heart".

I love the dialogue. How even in this terrible moment there's still so much chemistry and affection between them. I don't know the lyrics to the song, but I couldn't really identify which was which--which means you did a really excellent job of weaving them in here. And the descriptions of everything are so intense and well crafted. As always, you have such an inimitable style and a wonderful way with words.

“Sure you don’t want to stay?” he asks, quiet in comparison to the surrounding commotion but he’s certain that Arthur can hear him. “You’re going to miss all the fun.” They both pretend to not hear the break in Eames’ voice.

AFJSJKFDJKFJ. THIS PUT SUCH A LUMP IN MY THROAT.
