Two months pass. Sophia grows weaker. Her coughs sharper than before.
One Friday evening, she collapses in Scozza's arms.
Sophia (voice cracking): "Scozza… my love, don't waste your time.. time's gold.."
She was sent to the emergency room that day, and died peacefully in bed a day after.
After her funeral, scozza leaves a letter in her casket.
Letter: "You were my forever."
The same day he anonymously donates to a children's hospital.
Nurse: "Who's the donor?"
Receptionist: "It just says… A Friend."
By the end of the day he sits on their favorite bench. His eyes closed.
Scozza: "Can you still hear me, Sophia?"
Nyxcie silently watched him from a nearby rooftop, his diamond-blue eyes softening a bit to the scene.
Months later scozza's invited to a reunion — He watches from afar, not participating.
Later that day, scozza stumbles upon a little girl who's kitten disappeared. Scozza helps find it.
Girl: "You're a superhero!—"
Scozza (smiling faintly): "Oh— No-No .. I'm just a guy with a little time left."
