And then, with another deafening “boom,” the wall collapsed on top of Lysander.

Beneath him, Thalassa was trapped, but Lysander’s elbows propped up, his body forming a protective cocoon around her. Despite the debris raining down on his back, lacerating his flesh and grinding his bones, his arms remained unyielding, never once faltering in their support.

She snapped back to reality, her eyes wide with terror. Through the haze of dust, she saw the agony etched on Lysander’'s handsface, blood trickling from his lips, his arms shaking with the effort of holding up the world for her.
“Lysander!” Seeing his condition, Thalassa’s heart clenched with a sharp pain, tears. streaming down her face as she propped herself up and wrapped her arms around him. “Lysander, what's happened to you...” The noise of the collapsing house had ceased; no more walls or dirt fell. Lysander’s head throbbed with a searing pain. Several bricks had struck him during the collapse.
His vision blurred, but seeing Thalassa unharmed brought a faint smile to his bloodied lips.
Her tears seemed to ease his pain slightly. Coughing up blood, he mustered the last of his strength to tell Thalassa, “From now on, we owe each other nothing. Take the kids and live well...” With his last word spoken, Lysander’s consciousness slipped away, his body's full weight\ collapsing onto Thalassa.
