"It's true, the Wizarding world has gone to war, and you know I never wish to leave you!" He sighed. "I cannot promise you that, Charlotte, please do not make me. For I have been pressed into service, left with no choice but to go to the front lines." He pulled away from her, as if he couldn't bear to be in contact with her when he uttered his fateful news. He hoped the audience could sense the unspoken worries that would pass between two lovers faced with separation.
"I know that you fear we shall never meet again, that I will not return to you. But I have thought of a remedy, a way to let my soul be with you evermore."
Before she could reply, he walked away to the other side of the stage, partially hidden by the trees. Here goes nothing! He pulled out his wand and aimed it offstage, so the audience purposefully could not see what he was doing. With a nonverbal spell, he sent off a flash of green light that lit up the stage, while speaking different, fateful words, "Avada Kedavra!"
He returned to her, face pale in the flickering light of the bonfire. "I have done for you what most men could not, the greatest sacrifice." He took her hands in his, conscious of how awkwardly intimate it felt. Hopefully Kurumi didn't feel too uncomfortable. "Now my soul can reside within you where'er you go."
Awkward. Awkwardawkwardawkward.
If Keefer was feeling awkward about all this, he certainly wasn't showing it. Kurumi was thankful for the long skirt she was wearing, because she was fidgeting like a flutterby bush. When he pulled away, Kurumi's body leaned forward, as if clinging to the warmth of their embrace. The truth was that she had simply been knocked off balance, but the audience should see it differently.
"
But...I want you!" she said, her face serious and pleading as Keefer walked over towards the edge of the stage to perform the next bit of his part. Honestly, killing someone just for the sake of giving a piece of you to the person you loved? Kurumi didn't like that...but Charlotte and William were apparently peachy keen with it. Selfish is what she called that. Yep.
When Keefer!William came back, Kurumi's eyes lit up and...WOAH! She hadn't been expecting him to take her hands. THAT hadn't happened in rehearsal! "
William...," she replied with the slightest of glimmer to her eyes. "
Now we will be together, always." She put one hand on her chest and the other on Keefer!William's. AWKWARD. "
Just as my heart beats within my chest, so does a part of you."
