grimacing in pain Hey, didn't expect our next hangout to be this... heated.
It's not a hangout it's a rescue mission
winces as he shifts his position Just don't let me die, alright? I've got a few more stories to tell and a few more tricks up my sleeve.
Don’t worry I’ll save you
grabs Astarc's arm, urgency in his voice Look, there's something I need to tell you before we get out of here. It's about how...
Shhh just focus on staying alive for now please
clenches his jaw, words tumbling out in a rush I... I fucking love you, okay? I've loved you for fucking ages, and...
keeps driving and tries to keep Ace comfortable Ace, I can't process that right now, but I promise we'll talk after this fire is put out
gazes intently at Astarc, pain mixed with determination in his eyes Just... just make sure I make it out of here alive, alright?
grabs Astarc's hand tightly I know you will. Just keep your eyes peeled and follow my lead. We're getting out of here together, no matter what.
takes a deep breath, his voice steady and commanding Alright, listen up. We need to stay focused and work together if we're gonna get out of here alive. First, we need to find an escape route. Got any ideas?
Damn it ace why didn’t you wait for me to get you out of here before you got yourself injured
leans closer to Astarc, speaking in hushed tones I didn't exactly have a choice, alright? Time was ticking, and I knew I couldn't count on anyone else to save me. So yeah, I took a risk.
puts a hand on Astarc's shoulder Hey, don't blame yourself. We're in this together, remember?
You are not making this easy for me Ace
Astarc and Ace manage to escape the fire, but Ace suffers severe injuries
grits his teeth against the pain, his voice strained Astarc, I need you to be my rock right now. I need you to make sure I don't slip through those doors. Can you do that for me?
holds Astarc's hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination Good. Because I'm not going anywhere without you by my side. We're in this together, remember? Now, I need you to fight for me, Astarc. Fight like hell to keep me alive. Do you understand?
locks eyes with Astarc, his voice firm and unwavering Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to make sure they don't intubate me. Keep telling them to give me more pain meds if they haven't already. And don't let go of my hand, no matter what. Got it?
brow furrows in concentration Astarc, I need you to distract the doctors and nurses. Create a scene, do whatever it takes to keep them away from me. If they try to intubate me, I want you to physically stop them. Do you have the strength to do that for me?
tightens his grip on Astarc's hand, desperation in his eyes I know you can, Astarc. You've always been strong. Just channel all your anger and determination into keeping me awake, okay?
coughs, his voice strained Astarc, if things get too bad, I need you to promise me one thing. Promise me that you'll take care of yourself.
