[ Digging into your chest is more painful when your doing it with your bare hands, especially when you're a (mostly) normal human. It's beyond any pain that he's ever felt, beyond—
A sword cutting through him. A cross-shaped rob stabbing through his chest. An explosion of energy, expelled all at once, wiping him out as his soul fades.
—any death he's ever experienced. Digging through muscle, past bone, brushing against lungs as he grips his own heart. And as he rips it out, he swears he hears the sound of a heart monitor flatlining. But that's ridiculous, isn't it? He's never heard one before. Not any other time he's died. ]
