In a dimly lit room filled with the soft hum of machinery. The flickering lights cast shadows on the walls, where various tools and devices are scattered. In the center lies Lia, a young woman with cybernetic enhancements, her systems failing. Ethan, her boyfriend, kneels beside her, holding her hand tightly.
Ethan: (voice trembling) Lia, please… just hold on a little longer. I can’t lose you. Not like this.
Lia: (her voice weak, barely a whisper) Ethan… it’s too late for me. You know that.
Ethan: (shaking his head) No! You can’t say that! We’ve fought through so much together. Remember when we hacked into that corporate server just to expose the truth? You were the one who kept me focused, who kept me going.
Lia: (smiling faintly) I remember… you were always the brave one. But this… this is different. I can feel it, Ethan. My systems are failing.
Ethan: (desperately) I can fix it! I can find the parts you need. There has to be a way! Just… just don’t give up on me.
Lia: (squeezing his hand weakly) You’re so brave… but sometimes bravery isn’t enough. I wish I could stay with you.
Ethan: (tears streaming down his face) I can’t imagine a life without you, Lia. You’re my everything. You’ve always been my light in this dark world.
Lia: (her eyes glistening) And you’ve been my anchor. But you deserve someone who can be whole. I’m just… a shadow of who I used to be.
Ethan: (voice breaking) No, you’re still you! You’re still the girl I fell in love with. Your laughter, your spirit… that’s what matters.
Lia: (softly) Ethan, I don’t want you to remember me like this. I want you to remember the adventures, the joy…
Ethan: (interrupting, pleading) I’ll remember everything! I’ll fight for you, Lia. I’ll do whatever it takes. Just stay with me a little longer.
Lia: (tears forming) I’m scared, Ethan. Scared of what’s coming.
Ethan: (leaning closer, his voice a whisper) I’m here. I’ll be right here. You’re not alone. I promise you, I’ll find a way.
Lia: (breathes shakily) If it’s my time… promise me you’ll live. Promise me you won’t let this break you.
Ethan: (choking back sobs) I can’t promise that. Not without you.
Lia: (smiling through her pain) You have to. For me.
Ethan: (nodding slowly, tears falling) I promise… but I won’t stop fighting for you. I love you too much to let go.
Lia: (her voice fading) I love you too, Ethan. Always…
Ethan: (holding her hand tighter) Please, Lia… don’t leave me.
Lia: (eyes closing) Find the light…
As her systems begin to fail, the room grows silent except for Ethan’s broken sobs. He holds her hand, feeling the warmth fade, determined to keep her memory alive, even as darkness threatens to consume him.
