"What would you give? What would you give for this man?"
The voice is like nothing he’s heard before but at the same time he knows it as well as he knows his own hand.
"Anything. Everything."
The woman trails her fingers down his arm, and she looks sad as she faces him next.
"One life cannot be traded for another. I can bring him back, but only at a cost. What would you give for this man?"
"Whatever it takes."
Death smiles her sad smile one last time, and presses a kiss to his cheek.
"He will shine because of you."
And as she leaves, sight leaves Leonard’s eyes just as life returns to Jim’s.
"He will shine because of you, but you will not see it. Such is the curse of life."
