“Get Liesel off the boat—now There is a small speedboat at the back Take it”

Maxwell nods, and then he calun ai stupid

He bends down in front of Liesel, who is in an entirely different world She has no tears left; there are just dry streaks on her cheeks where her tears once were But her crying won’t be enough to get her tor time

I’ve felt the death of someone I loved before It never leaves you I feel for Liesel, I do But right now, I have to make sure that I don’t have to endure the same level of pain with Siren

Maxwell says so to her that I can’t hear She doesn’t react

He carefully slips his ar to lash out or do soet them both killed

He lifts her up, cradling her honeymoon-style

I continue to ai Liesel so vulnerable in another et so fucked up? How did the girl I used to do anything to protect become this?

Because I failed to protect her froer

Maxwell carries Liesel past un, and then I turn back to Zeke and Siren She’s still breathing, but there is soblood It’s all over Zeke’s lap

This isn’t soeon in the world, with the help of a miracle, would be able to save Siren

I run up to the top deck and wave Enzo down in the helicopter, knowing that’s the fastest way to get Siren to shore

Finally, I’ht die

That can’t happen

I turn, just as I see Maxwell and Liesel disappear out of sight
