[ she unfortunately means that. she wants to touch him, but she's not sure where he isn't injured. even if he can't feel pain, it's not something she wants to ignore. ]
You weren't left alone for too long, were you? You came back together.
[ even if they all came back bloody and too close to death. ]

no subject
... I do want to stay with you.
[ and then she DIES, ara ]
no subject
I want to stay with you, too.
[ wanting doesn't keep her from dying, but wanting is the truth. ]
