[she wants to see the stars like he described them. she wants to feel the wind on her face and she wants to swim in the ocean, and she wants to sit on the deck of a ship with people she loves, people who love her in return, and just... be. just be, without restriction.]
[ he sounds sure about that. he has to squish it, to get it past the bars, but after a pause he takes off his hat and puts it right on her head one last time. ]

[god you know the one piece like crying style is so accurate because she's just a mess like that, there's no pretty crying she just looks like her soul is being ripped out of her body. it almost didn't feel real until now. he gave her his hat, and he's so, so sure that she'll take care of it.

she's quiet, after that, but she refuses to let go of him. she'll be here all night.]
