#listen i dont think this is at all what happened

Spoilers for 217; cw suicide ish

Wilde sees Guivres break free from Apophis’ grasp, sees her fly toward the tower, sees her ascend so that Zolf and Babbage are directly in front of her.  

No one can survive fire breath at that close range, not even Zolf, who thinks himself both invulnerable and expendable all at once.

He sees Zolf stare down Guivres, recognizing the resolve in his gaze even from so far away, and he knows that this is the end. 

In an instant, he flies upwards.  In the seconds before fire consumes them, he hovers next to Zolf and puts his hands on his shoulders. 

“We’ve got this.”

Wilde has been dead before.  It was peaceful in its way, with no one pestering him for another job to do, no persona to play or airs to put on.  But it was lonely. 

And as the fire consumes them in burning light, at least Wilde takes solace that this time he won’t be alone.
