Summary
Hamlet has just died. How strange, and well, funny, that he still retains consciousness. As it turns out, that consciousness may lend itself a damning reason. A quill, an ink flask, and a piece of notepaper scratched with Horatio's handwriting appear to him in deathly grace. Through some impossible will of God, Hamlet and Horatio can communicate through the paper, transcending their planes of being. Can Hamlet find any respite through this revelation? Or will the tangibility of Horatio's absence only kill him further?

Summary
Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.
A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.
The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.
One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.
