[It takes her breath away. The results were a punch to the gut, and she still hasn't caught her breath from them. She doesn't know how to handle it. She doesn't know what to make of it--
She just knows that she's going to die.
And so, even worse, is Jaffar. She'd come to terms with her death a long time ago, when she'd been willing to give it up for a total stranger because he struck a chord in her, though she'd grown to desire it. A future. Life. Living with Jaffar...
If Jaffar won't be there, it's pointless.
Her breath hitches, and she ducks her head; it feels like she can't stop the tears, no matter what she does--but she still has to reach for him, because she doesn't want him to be distant. Not at a time like this.]
Jaffar... [What can she say? In a moment like this...?] Don't... don't apologize. Please--not now. I just...I want to be with you. For...as long as we have.
