[Cass shakes her head. The words aren't there. Won't happen. But she grips Steph's hand. Tight. She wants her here. To stay.
She always... wants Steph. To stay.
She floats in the water.
There were times Steph helped her float. Fly away. But that was when Steph was... not-dead. And Cass was dead. And Cass was drowning-burning.
This is real-Steph. And she holds Cass. Her hand is an... anchor. And the water is cool. And the air is fresh. And they're both alive.
She wants to tell Steph. That when Cass dies, she sees Steph. Welcomes her. She wants to tell Steph they're both alive. But the words... float away. So she clenches her fingers.]
