[Maelle was so fortunate despite her unfortunate beginnings. It's why it feels so good to be her, and she laughs as Gustave pulls her off balance. She falls onto him, nuzzling her head against his face, laughter light and full of joy. This is what she's been having dreams of as of late. No more nightmares of fires or strangers she doesn't know. It's only been of Gustave, and the day they would be together again.
He was worth waiting for. Like Verso, he'll never be taken from her because no one is strong enough to do it. As long as she's here, they're safe.]
You're okay. It's okay, Gustave.
[They will always be okay. She hugs him tighter, for both their sakes. This is real. He has his second chance, and it won't be full of heartache and struggle. He'll never lose another drop of blood. He'll never shed a tear unless it's of happiness. He'll never need to fight unless he wants to lose a duel with her.]
