"You are my loved one, Harry," said Bridgens. "The only man or woman or child left in the world who cares whether I am alive or dead, much less what I may have thought before I fell or where my bones will lie."
Peglar, still angry, felt his heart pounding inside his chest. "You're going to outlive me, John."
"Oh, at my age, and with my infirmities and proclivities toward illness, I hardly think..."
"You're going to outlive me, John," grated Peglar. He shocked himself by the intensity of his voice and Bridgens blinked and fell silent. Peglar took the older man's wrist. "Promise me you'll do one thing for me, John."
"Of course." There was none of the usual banter or irony in Bridgens' voice.

Sorry I'm still incredibly overwhelmed thinking about the cannibalism thing. To think that dave k truly said that were the other still alive, bridgens and peglar respectively would resort to cannibalism in order to survive. For the other. They would survive only for the sake of the other still being alive. Eating people only because the other is still living and they cannot fucking live without each other I am going to fuckeigndndnhhshsh hdhhehshsskh <- brain blew up

Do you think Bridgens ever watched Francis’ quiet denial and bargaining, seeing a love story approach a tragic end, and realised that his own will likely end the same? Or was he holding out hope too? That parallel messes me up aha
For @theterrorbingo “the point of no return”
