>"Sorry, I just... it'll get pretty close and I don't want anything to happen more than it needs to."
"I understand, I don't deserve it."

>She pulls you in for a tight hug.
"D-don't stop..."
>"You know I have to, Nonny."
"Mom, I don't want to die..."
>"Nopony does, sweetie. I... I'll see you there soon."
>You can hear clanking on the cold metal floors of the compound, fast approaching.
"Don't let go, please! Did I ever tell you how much I love you, Twilight? I don't-"

>"Not now. Wait for the undertaker."
>You whimper softly as you tag along behind the group of soldiers through the darkened facility.
>Why would someone keep that photo lying around?
