With each change, Parker could see he was getting to her. She was hearing him. Her eyes shut tight; he wasn't sure if it was her, or whatever was preserving her doing that. He didn't want to try to force anything, so he just kept talking, "Come on, wake up. I'm here, right here, I'm not going anywhere. From the moment I saw you, I knew I loved you. I had no idea what love even was before I saw you. Sure I'd heard about it, been warned about it, talked about it; but I had never felt it until I saw you and talked with you by the lake. My entire life I was trained to shun my feelings and emotions. You brought those all out of me. I was a war machine with a pre-programmed code of conduct, but you made me human once more. You can't leave me... please."
