“I ask of you one thing, lightwing… one more kiss. My last. If you have spent this day remembering all the worst things that I am then hate me while you offer it but give it willingly if there is still a part of me that you believe is worth more than the dirt we stand upon. Kiss me if you believe I hold any value at all in your eyes because I have come to realise that you are the only living creature I have met during a thousand lifetimes who I care to be worth something to.”
