There’s a moment.
Before the truth is revealed. Before the screaming begins. Before the fists and fangs and fighting starts.
Before all that, there’s one last moment.
You already feel alive. Everything is brighter and more colourful, like you can taste the breeze. You’ve already made your choice, and now there’s no going back.
You have just enough emotion left to think of your mother grieving, your sister crying, your best friend wondering. Just enough feeling to yearn for them without the hunger colouring it all.
Just that last moment to say goodbye to his past, to himself...
To Jesse.
