【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十四章：宣泄 Unleashed(9)

Every word came with labor and pain, and I was crying in earnest as she spoke. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I rocked back and forth, weeping as I held pulled her up until she was resting against me. Her head lolled against my shoulder, and for a moment the only way I knew Isarae was still alive was the faint susurration of her breathing as I cradled her still form in my arms.
“You can’t,” I pressed my lips to her cooling forehead. “You cannot die, ‘Rae… not now that I’ve finally found you.”

“I am… grateful,” Isarae whispered, and I hated that it was probably as loud as she was capable of. “You made… my last days… so very bright.”
“Stop it!” I clutched her close as I sobbed the words out. “Stop talking like that! You saved me! There must be a way to save you, too!”
She shook her head, raising her arm with what must have been a colossal effort to lay her hand over mine, and smiled.
I had no words for this pain.
There was no reply to this unassailable grief that cut my heart in the moment of that smile. It was the smile of a dying immortal… a smile that was both infinitely weary and infinitely bright because she was in love. Isarae’s lips were thin, chapped, and pale from lack of bloodflow, and she was so weak she could barely curve her lips to make the expression, but it was there all the same.
