Allowed to be sad? To miss him? She did that in spades. She just didn't share it. When Luz mentioned his eyes, she locked her gaze with them and reached out, holding his cheek and his gloved hand immediately covered hers.

It was cold.

Even through the glove, she could feel the lack of flesh beneath to fill out the fabric. It was bone beneath. He was thinner to the touch, too.

"His eyes are as blue as Earth's ocean, you can dive into them and never want to come up for air." She felt his grip tighten around her hand, the soft click of uncovered bone against bone, the more he spoke, the more translucent he became. "He could make you feel like it was only you and he on the entire planet, he could hold your hand and you would know everything would be alright."

She watched his body fade more and more, his eyes the only thing remaining opaque.
