They had fought hard from start to finish, and in the end they were both brought to their knees. It was appropriate, Kit thought. Even in his condition, the only thing holding him upright at the moment being the other boy's smaller frame, his skull feeling like a stick of dynamite had just gone off inside, he had to appreciate that much.]
I suppose...that's exactly what I thought would happen.
[Awkwardly shifting his weight, Kit pushed himself off Vincent's shoulder and toward the nearest wall. Back pressed clumsily up against it, he closed his eyes immediately to stop his world from spinning, but the darkness did nothing to stop every part of him from feeling like it was trying to turn itself inside out.]
I thought that...if I couldn't win, I could at least take you down with me. That would be enough.
