Clemetine smiles against him even as she slides a hand behind her neck, closing her eyes there as she hugs him very tightly. She nods against his shoulder, because she knows. Louis makes it very clear that she matters so much to him and that means the world to her.

And she just wants more than anything to protect that, protect him. Everyone she has ever loved has died, usually died because of her.

She wants him to stay safe, to stay in her life. No matter what.

She wants a lot of impossible things, but right now she just wants him to feel even a little bit as worthy and as meaningful as he is. Especially in the face of a memory like this one.

So she'll stay like that with him through the rest of the Event, reminding him whenever she can. That he matters, that this moment alone does not define him.
