Y/N: [sigh] "That fast, huh?"

Lee: "Yeah, that's why you need to appreciate the people around you, because before you know it, they'll be gone."

Y/N: "What if I can do something about it? What if I can stop the bad from happening?"

Lee lays a hand on Y/N's shoulder.

Lee: "I thought that too, Y/N. Sometimes, what you do is never enough."

Y/N: "So that's just how it is? People come in your life and then they're just... gone?"

Lee: "I'm sorry, Y/N. Nobody likes it, but there's nothing you can do to change that. That's why you have memories, even though the person is gone, your memories are not."

Y/N: "I-I... it's not as easy as you think."

Lee: "I never said it was easy."

Lee looks off into the distance.

Lee: "Y/N."

Y/N looks up at him.

Lee: "Wake up."

Y/N: "Noo!!"

He catches Leslie's body before she falls to the floor. Abramovici looks in shock at what he did.

Mark: "What the fuck did you do!?!"

He grabs his knife as he lunges at Abramovici and continue their fight.

Y/N sits on the ground and holds Leslie in his arms.

Y/N: "Leslie. Leslie, baby you're gonna be okay."

Leslie: "...Y/N.."

Y/N: "Just relax, okay? I'm gonna get you out of here."

He tries to lift her up but she groans in pain.

Leslie: "...y/n.."

Y/N: "No, please. Don't leave me, not like this."

Leslie: "...it's..time..Y/N."

Y/N: "..no, please.."

He cries on her.

Leslie: "..thank you...for everything."

Y/N: "Leslie, just stay with me. Y-You're gonna be fine, and we're gonna go back home to E-Ellie, okay?"

Leslie: "...I love..you, Y/N...take care...of her..."

She lets out her last breath and her body goes limp in his arms.

Y/N: "Leslie? Leslie!"

He tries to shake her awake but to no avail. He then starts sobbing.

Y/N: "...no.."

———

Leslie: "Uh Hello?"

Y/N: "Oh uh hi. Sorry about that, just daydreaming."

———

Y/N: "..no."

———

Y/N: "Well I wanted to talk to you."

Leslie: "About?"

Y/N: "How I've been feeling recently."

Leslie: "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"

Y/N: "No, nothing's wrong. I want to talk about how I've been feeling about someone in particular."

Leslie: "Who?"
