...Just...just tell me if he lives...please...

That's an incredibly inventive use of the Healing Touch, though, and I'm very pleased to have found this story. Excellent writing, plot, characterization...

FEEEEELS

...Dammit, Lily.
Every time I think you've perfectly conveyed suffering through words, you manage to outdo yourself. Not gonna lie, I had to mentally prepare myself for about ten minutes before I actually sat down to read this. And as always, once I'd started, I just couldn't stop. In this case especially, assuming the role of the speaker while reading was NOT a good idea. I swear I felt every bit of pain inflicted on Markus, down to the part where he began mentally and physically collapsing. So many chills... And not just because I was envisioning his hypothermia. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but your words resound in the most wonderous way. I really wish more people would check out your work on here- It is well, well worth it.
