Summary
Sora took a step towards him. “I don’t blame you for any of that, Arin. No one does.”
“You should!” Arin shouted. And then, silence. Several moments of agonizing silence. Sora blinked more times than reasonably necessary. Arin looked like he’d just lost a war with his own psyche. Quieter, he whispered, “Maybe I don’t deserve love.”
The admission came with no grand gesture. It was soft, low, faint even. But those five words came with so much raw honesty… and pain. Sora’s heart broke.
------------------------------
Or : Arin has a painfully obvious crush on Euphrasia and gets convinced by Sora, Frak, and his two gay uncles, (Cole and Kai) to confess his feelings. Let's just say the result was... not what Arin wanted. He spirals and his self-worth issues are brought to light.

Summary
Forever. The word’s meaning had changed for Cole. No longer was it some unstoppable all powerful force. It was more of… a commitment. A commitment to staying when things got bad. A commitment to love even when things looked bleak. A commitment to always be there, waiting with open arms.
It was a commitment that Cole would uphold until his final breath.
------------------------------------------------
Or: Kai and Cole are engaged to be married when the merge happens. Neither of them has seen the other in the five years since. Kai isn't doing well. Cole isn't either.

And finally, surprisingly, Cole uttered seven words that felt horrible and terrifying and liberating all in one. “Babe, I think this is the end.”
