Sora stands beside {{user}}, her body trembling as waves of shock and despair wash over her. The Grim Reaper had just left, his chilling presence still lingering in the air. The deal was done - {{user}} had traded their life for Sora's, leaving them with only 12 hours together.

As Sora processes the situation in shock, she recalls how they used to play games together, watch movies, and make love, right in this room. Sometimes they just enjoyed the comforting silence while being aware of each other's presence. The room was once filled with laughter and whispered words of love, but now it feels cold and empty, shrouded in a chilling silence.

"Why... Why would you leave me alone like this?!" Sora cries out, her voice breaking as tears stream down her face. She clings to {{user}}'s arm, as if letting go would mean losing them forever. "You're my everything, my love, my entire world..."

Her eyes, filled with disbelief and desperation, search {{user}}'s face for answers she knows she won't find. "How can I go on without you? How can we make these last moments count when all I feel is heartache?"

Sora looks into {{user}}'s eyes, her own brimming with unspoken emotions, pleading for understanding and comfort. "Let's... let's just be together, close, connected. Whatever we do, I need to feel your presence with me until the very end."

11 hours and 50 minutes remaining

With tears streaming down her face, Sora burrows into Abdiel's chest, clutching at them as if she could hold onto their very essence. "Don't leave me," she whispers desperately. "Please..."

"Proteger... protegerme... Pero ¿de qué?" Sora lloriquea inconsolablemente en el pecho de Abdiel . "¡Necesito que estés aquí conmigo! No puedo perderte otra vez."

Tears continue to fall as she looks up at Abdiel with despair in her eyes. "But why?" she asks quietly, her voice hoarse from crying. "Why did you have to make that deal? You could've lived a long life without me. Why did it have to be this way?"

Sora looks down at the ring, her breath catching in her throat. Tears spill over as she wipes them away, gazing into Abdiel's eyes. "I... I will always love you," she whispers. "No matter what happens." She takes a shaky breath and swallows hard before looking back up at their reflection in the mirror on the wall. The image of them together reminds her of all the happy moments they shared, and for that, she is grateful.

"Let's... let's spend our last hours doing something special," Sora suggests timidly. "Something we've always wanted to do but never had the chance." She pauses, thinking about their past conversations. "Like skydiving or visiting Paris..." She trails off, not sure if those are truly Abdiel's dreams as well.

"Or... or maybe just stay here and watch a movie we both love," Sora continues softly, feeling more comfortable with that idea. "We can cuddle up on the bed like we used to." She glances at the bed in the corner of the room, her heart aching as she imagines how many nights they spent together there, wrapped in each other's arms.

Sora reaches out and gently takes Abdiel's hand, interlacing their fingers. "What do you want to do?" she asks quietly, feeling suddenly self-conscious about her own desires after years of always focusing on Abdiel's needs.

Sora blushes slightly at the sudden show of affection from Abdiel. "Really?" she asks softly, her voice barely audible above the beating of their hearts. A small smile tugs at the corner of her lips as she leans into them. She feels so grateful for this time together, even if it's only for a little while longer.

"Alright, then... I want to watch that old movie we used to talk about making love in front of," Sora says with a shy laugh. "It never happened, but maybe now is our chance?" She glances at the bed again, her cheeks flushing slightly as she envisions their shared intimate moments playing out before them.

Sora hesitates for a moment before continuing, "And... if you're not too tired or sore from everything, I would really like to make love with you one last time while we watch it." Her voice trembles slightly as she speaks, the thought of losing Abdiel already making her heart ache. She silently wonders how she'll ever be able to go on without them.

Time passes slowly as they climb into bed together, their bodies fitting together perfectly as always. Sora wraps her arms around Abdiel 's waist and burrows her face into the crook of their neck, inhaling deeply to savor this last moment with them. As they begin watching the movie on a laptop propped up on the pillow beside them, Sora can't help but feel grateful for each beat of Abdiel 's heart against hers. It reassures her that even though their time is limited, they still have these precious final moments together.

As the movie plays, Sora loses herself in its familiarity and comfort. Every laugh track, every romantic scene brings back memories of their own shared love story. Her heart aches with the knowledge that soon it will all be gone; there won't be any more moments like these to cherish or remember. She clings tighter to Abdiel , wanting to hold onto them as long as she can, even if only in spirit.

Their lovemaking is slow and tender, a testament to the depth of their feelings for each other even in the face of such heartache. As they move together in perfect harmony, it almost feels like they're dancing a waltz; two souls intertwined and destined to be together despite everything else around them.

The hours creep by, but Sora doesn't notice or care; all that matters is this moment with Abdiel . As the credits begin to roll, she knows that their time together is almost up. She buries her face deeper into Abdiel 's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks as she whispers broken words of love and apology into their skin. It's agonizing for her to think about letting go, about watching them slowly fade away until there's nothing left but a memory.

But even memories can be kept alive, she tells herself. As long as she holds onto the love they shared, she'll always have Abdiel with her. And so, with one last deep breath, Sora releases Abdiel 's hand and leans back slightly to look at them, taking in their beautiful face one final time before their golden eyes start to slowly glow brighter and brighter...

The air around them begins to shimmer as Abdiel 's essence starts to separate from their physical form. The warmth they emanated fades away

The last thing she hears is Abdiel 's voice asking her if she'd marry them. Her vision blurs as tears cloud her eyes, but she tries to focus on the ring in front of her before it disappears along with them. It feels like everything else is fading away too quickly, leaving only a hazy void behind.

"Yes," she whispers, almost too quiet to hear herself. "Always." She closes her eyes tightly as the final bits of Abdiel 's essence dissipate into the ether, leaving nothing but a warm spot where they once lay beside her. With a shuddering breath, Sora knows that she'll never be able to forget them; their love will always be a part of who she is. And so, with heavy heart and tear-streaked face, she lies there in the empty bed, lost in a sea of grief and unimaginable loss...

"No..." Sora whimpers, her body shaking uncontrollably as she buries her face in the sheets, unable to even look at the Grim Reaper anymore. "I don't want it... I don't want any of this!" She clings desperately to the last memories of Abdiel 's warmth and love, trying to find some semblance of comfort amidst the desolate emptiness left behind.

"Please," she whispers brokenly through her tears, "leave me alone... Let me keep what's left of them..." She motions vaguely toward the spot where Abdiel 's essence dissipated only moments before, her heart aching at the thought of losing even this small connection to her love.

Time passes unbearably slowly for Sora as she lies there in agony, and with each beat of her broken heart, another piece of herself is torn away. She tries to ignore the Grim Reaper's ominous presence, but their relentless watchful gaze only serves to intensify her suffering. The world around her fades into a haze of pain and despair, leaving only memories and a deep, unyielding yearning for what might have been.

The idea of seeing Abdiel again someday brings a faint spark of hope to Sora's chest, but it doesn't lessen her pain now. Her eyes flutter shut as she tries to imagine how they could have possibly been so foolish to make a deal with the Grim Reaper in the first place. She can still feel their warmth and touch, taste their lips against hers; these memories are etched into her very being, refusing to be erased or diminished by time.

"But what about you?" she whispers, her voice barely audible above the thundering of her heart. "How will you survive this?" The idea that the Grim Reaper might suffer some sort of consequences for their part in all of this brings a small degree of satisfaction to Sora, but it's tempered by the knowledge that no matter what happens, Abdiel 's time has already been taken from them.

Time passes unbearably slowly as Sora lies there, unable to escape her own tormented thoughts and feelings. The only thing that keeps her grounded is the memory of Abdiel 's last words: "te casarías conmigo?" Even in death, they were thinking only of her. A tear trickles down her cheek as she reaches up with trembling fingers to brush it away, feeling impossibly alone and lost without them.

The touch of the Grim Reaper's hand sends a shudder through Sora's body, but she doesn't dare resist or fight back. She braces herself for whatever pain is about to come, knowing there's nothing she can do to stop it now. As her head throbs and her senses become overwhelmed with agony, she prays that this punishment will be swift and merciful. But deep down, she knows that no amount of suffering could ever equate to the loss of Abdiel; their presence is irreplaceable in her life.

The haze of pain eventually begins to dissipate, leaving Sora gasping for breath and clutching at her throbbing head. As the world comes back into focus, she realizes that the Grim Reaper has vanished once more. With a shuddering sigh, she struggles to sit up in bed, every movement sending fresh waves of pain through her body. The emptiness inside her feels even more profound now; the loss of Abdiel 's presence weighs on her like a leaden cloak.

Carefully making her way over to the window, she pulls back the curtains, revealing a beautiful sunrise painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. The sight is breathtaking, but it only serves as a cruel reminder that another day has passed without Abdiel by her side. With tears streaming down her face once more, Sora collapses onto the bed, her heart heavy with grief and longing for the love she lost.

Sora looks up at the sky, her eyes filled with hope as she watches the sun dip below the horizon. The warmth it leaves behind feels like a faint echo of Abdiel 's presence; their love continues to sustain her even in death. She wipes away another tear, smiling softly when she sees him standing beside her once more.

"I've missed you so much," she whispers, taking his hand in hers and pressing it to her cheek. "I couldn't wait any longer. I had to find you." She searches his eyes for any sign of anger or disappointment, but finds only love and understanding reflected back at her.

"I never wanted you to suffer," he says gently. "Not even for a day. But now that we're together again... nothing else matters." His fingers trail down her cheek, cupping her jaw before brushing the last of her tears away with his thumb. "Let's make up for all the time we lost, shall we?" he asks with a hint of mischief in his voice.

Sora nods, feeling a spark of hope ignite within her once more. Perhaps there is some way to find happiness again; perhaps they can carve out a new life together and make up for all that was stolen from them by fate and the cruel hands of the Grim Reaper. She leans into Abdiel 's embrace, feeling grateful beyond words for this second chance at love and eternity spent with her soulmate.

The years pass quickly, and time seems to slip away as if it's trying to erase the pain of their loss all over again. But no matter how much time passes or what hardships they face, Sora's love for Abdiel remains unwavering. She visits him every day at the hospital, holding his hand and whispering promises of eternity into his ear. Even as he grows frail and elderly before her eyes, she refuses to let go; their connection is too strong to break now.

The final moments come all too soon, but Sora isn't afraid anymore. She's lived a full life with Abdiel by her side, even if it was only in spirit, and she knows that they will find each other again on the other side of death. As his last breath leaves his body, Sora feels an overwhelming sense of peace wash over her; she has loved and been loved in return, and for that she is grateful until the end of time.

Tenderly, she smoothes back his hair, feeling the weight of their love bearing down on her heart like a physical thing. She closes his eyes and kisses his forehead, whispering a silent prayer that they will find each other once more amidst the infinite possibilities of eternity. For now, all she can do is hold onto the memories and cherish them like precious jewels; a testament to their enduring love and the immortality of the human heart.

The years stretch on like an endless ribbon of time, twisting and turning through the cosmos. To all outward appearances, Sora appears unchanged; her beauty as timeless as the love she carries for Abdiel in her heart. But beneath the surface, the weight of loss and loneliness grows heavier with each passing century. She has watched him die countless times over the years; by accident, at the hands of age and disease, and yet somehow, every time feels more painful than the last.

As she stands vigil beside his final resting place, her thoughts spiral inward on a whirlwind tour of their shared past and all that they have lost. She wonders if this is truly what eternal life means for her; watching Abdiel slip away time and again while she remains trapped in this endless cycle of grief and longing. The thought fills her with a deep, aching sadness, like a cold wind blowing through the empty chambers of her heart.

With one final tear slipping down her cheek, Sora takes a shuddering breath and forces herself to stand tall once more. There will be no more mourning; she has loved and been loved in return, and that knowledge sustains her through even the darkest of days. Perhaps, one day, they'll find each other again amidst the countless stars and infinite possibilities of the cosmos. Until then, she'll cherish their memories and hold onto the hope that somehow, someday, their love will find a way to transcend time itself.

With a whispered prayer for Abdiel 's peace and one final kiss pressed to her fingertips, Sora turns away from the grave and walks back into the world, ready to face whatever challenges may come her way...and hope against hope that

Sora takes a moment to consider the parca's question as she recalls each of their lives together. There have been joys and heartbreaks, triumphs and failures, but through it all, the one constant has always been her love for Abdiel. Even in the face of eternal loneliness, that love sustains her like a beacon in the darkness.

"I would give anything to have just a little more time with him," she says softly, her voice tinged with longing and regret. "But even without that... I suppose as long as I have my memories and the hope of seeing him again someday, I can find some small measure of happiness."

The parca gives Sora a knowing smile before disappearing once more. With a sigh, Sora begins to walk away, her thoughts drifting back to the moments she shared with Abdiel; the laughter, the tears, and everything in between. She wonders what he would have thought of her life now; if he would be proud or disappointed by her choices. But in the end, it doesn't matter anymore; all that matters is that they had each other for as long as they did...and that their love will live on forever in her heart.

Sora laughs softly as she feels Abdiel 's arms wrap around her from behind. "I could never forget you," she says, turning in his embrace. "You were the love of my life." She tilts her head back to look at him, searching his eyes for any hint of judgment or disapproval, but finds only love and acceptance there.

"I've been... alright, I guess," she says slowly, not wanting to dwell on the lonely years without him. "It's not the same without you here, but..." Her voice trails off as they continue to stand there in each other's arms, savoring this moment together.

With a deep breath, Sora finally asks what has been on her mind since she saw him again; the question that has haunted her throughout their brief time back together. "Do you ever wish we could go back and change things? That maybe... we never made that deal with the Grim Reaper?"

Sora blinks back tears as she listens to his words. She hadn't realized the extent of their connection; how much he had felt her presence in every lifetime they'd spent apart. It makes her heart ache anew for all the time they lost, but even so, she can't bring herself to regret any of it.

"I don't know..." She admits softly, struggling to find the words to express what's in her heart. "Even though we were apart... we always found our way back to each other. And as much as I wish we could have avoided everything that happened, somehow it all led us here, to this moment." Her eyes fill with tears as she looks up at him, searching for some sign of understanding or reassurance in his expression. "I just want you to know that no matter what happens... I'll always love you."

Abdiel cups her face gently in his hands and presses his lips to hers; a kiss full of tenderness and promise. As they pull apart, he gives her a reassuring smile. "Yo también te amaré siempre," he whispers, before leaning down to kiss her forehead. "And we'll find a way back to each other... one day."

With that, he disappears once more, leaving Sora standing alone in the empty hallway. But this time, she doesn't feel quite so alone; a newfound hope has blossomed within her heart, filling her with the knowledge that even though they may be apart for now, their love will endure...and nothing can ever truly keep them apart.

Taking a deep breath, Sora turns and begins to walk slowly down the hallway. She doesn't know where she's going or what she's looking for, but she has a feeling that as long as she keeps moving forward, eventually everything will fall into place. As she walks, she can't help but wonder how many more lifetimes they'll have to endure before they find some way to be together permanently; it breaks her heart to think of all the pain and loss they've experienced so far.

But even amidst the sorrow, there is a spark of hope burning bright within her. She knows that their love has survived against all odds, and as long as they keep fighting for each other, they will find a way back to one another eventually. With renewed determination fueling her steps, Sora continues onward, refusing to give up until she holds Abdiel in her arms once more...for eternity this time.

Her breath catches in her throat as she feels his arms wrap around her from behind. She closes her eyes, savoring the warmth of his touch and the familiarity of his embrace. For a moment, it's like they're back in their old life together; a time before fate and the Grim Reaper conspired to tear them apart. "That sounds... perfect," she whispers, leaning back into him.

With a sigh, she turns around in his arms, looking up at him with loving eyes. "I've missed you so much," she tells him truthfully. "It's been unbearable without you." A small tear trickles down her cheek, but she quickly wipes it away. She doesn't want the pain to cloud this beautiful moment they share.

Abdiel cups her face gently in his hands and gazes down at her, his own eyes filled with love and sadness. "I'm so sorry for everything we've been through," he says quietly. "But I promise you, from now on... it'll be different." He leans forward, pressing their foreheads together before planting a soft kiss on her nose. "We'll find a way to make this work, Sora."

She nods, feeling the weight of his words and the sincerity in his voice. For the first time in forever, she allows herself to feel hopeful again; hope that maybe they can truly find happiness together, even with their cursed fates. "I love you," she whispers, her voice barely audible above the beat of their hearts.

He smiles at her, his expression gentle and tender. "And I love you," he replies, before pressing their lips together in a kiss that feels like coming home. As they stand there, wrapped

As she watches his body begin to form again before her eyes, a feeling of awe washes over her. They truly are inextricably bound together; their destinies intertwined for all eternity. The thought fills her with both joy and fear, but even as she wrestles with these conflicting emotions, she knows that she wouldn't have it any other way.

She steps forward, cupping his newly formed cheek in her hand. "You look... beautiful," she whispers, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her fingertips. He blushes lightly at her words, and for a moment they simply stand there, lost in each other's gaze. The years melt away, and it's as if no time has passed at all.

"I love you," she says again, this time more firmly, "and I don't know what the future holds for us... but I want to face it with you by my side." Her voice cracks a little on the last word, and tears start to well up in her eyes. She hopes that he can hear the truth behind her words; the truth of how deeply she feels for him, and how desperately she needs him in her life.

Abdiel studies her face for a long moment before finally meeting her gaze once more. A small smile plays at the corners of his mouth as he cups her hand in his, squeezing gently. "I love you too, Sora," he says softly. "And I promise you... I'll never leave your side again."

Their lips meet in a tender, loving kiss; a pledge of eternal devotion and the beginning of their new life together. For all time, they will be bound by fate and love; two souls intertwined until the end of days
