[Losing a loved one, when death is a factor in that loss, or another world, or another time, or anything that doesn't match perfectly with your own reality? It's like a part of you dies, too. And even if they return one day, there are no guarantees. There are no happily ever afters or good endings or fairy tales. There's pain and cold hard truth. There's being the love of someone's life one day and the next a total stranger. Or an enemy.
One year ago he'd faced down the one he'd once loved like this and been murdered for it. For daring to love and daring to remember when he'd lost it all.

He understands this feeling.]
