He fairly slumps against her, clinging to her and holding her tight to him. Desperate, panicked, feeling as if he's in parts and pieces and they're all laid out. Admitting to what he's done is one thing, but knowing Julia has seen it is another.

And she still loves him. Despite it all, she loves him. Even at his worst.

"I love you," he manages, choking on tears he can't stop. "I..." She's seen the worst, and she can still love him. She knows it all... and she is saving him. It's like a wrenching inside of him, painful, tearing through him, and it leaves behind a sensation. One he doesn't understand but he can guess what it is. "Let's... Please, let's go."

Julia nods. She knows what happened, and lets out a breath of relief. Both she and Barbie had clung to so much over the last year in Wonderland - her role as the Monarch, the kids, the Dome, and their own personal sins. With every event it seemed like Wonderland challenged them more and more, worked to make their lives harder than they needed to be.

But, in a way, maybe it was also Wonderland that is forcing them to let go of who they were before so they could move on. Together.

"Come on, babe," she whispers, pulling him along with her, away from his personal Hell. "It's okay. You're going to be okay."
