Something suddenly became clear through his conflicted morass of doubt and confusion when DAX turned to go. His voice, he was leaving and it was like he'd had a part of his home again only to have it torn away from him, and despite everything else, all else, more than anything he wanted DAX to stay.
He reached out a hand to catch his coat, but he was already out of range, and then he nearly stood to follow him and felt a hand on his shoulder. A nurse nearby, no doubt wary about sudden movements after the other conflicts in the visiting room, and ZEX sat back down, trembling. There was so much he didn't expect from this visit, but an almost overpowering sense of loss wasn't one of them.
Now there were words, although he couldn't bring himself to say them. There was no point now. Don't go. ZEX pressed his hands over his eyes. Don't leave me here. Don't do this to me.
He didn't know what else he could do. He kept his head buried in his hands, trembling. If this was a nightmare, ZEX hoped that the Creator would have the mercy to let him wake up.
