[ It's true, any lie that Koby can offer won't make it better. The gaping hole in Armand's heart and soul is too large, too deep. The loss of that bright star has left a void in him that's big enough to swallow the entire world. A few well intentioned words will not fill it. Not now. Not ever.
But Armand wants them anyway, wants Koby anyway. Koby already understands what it's like, the loneliness, perhaps better than any mortal available to him. His kisses will be warm, beneath the water. They can shelter each other as they mourn, two broken boys. They can swim together through the dark. Armand senses it in him, the temptation that almost brings Koby stumbling forward, and sensing that weakness pulls him through the water, dragging himself through the mud, reaching, reaching -- so close. So close. ]
Please. Koby, please. I want you. [ Bloody tears roll from his black shark's eyes. ] Just let me hold you for a moment, Koby. Please!
