[Diarmuid stays with her long after she has passed. It's what he has always done with the friends he has seen die, both during his life here in the Tower and during his lives before. He won't let the monsters tear apart her body any more than it already has been. He will stay until the units come...
...and he will cry. The tears that he had held back while she was still alive now run down his face, dripping onto hers. Diarmuid can't understand it. Why did she do this for him? Why when they have argued so much about their views and beliefs? He's not her son. He can't be, but she still fought to protect him. All she wanted was to keep him safe.
She had done that, but he had been unable to return the favor. The Tower had released him from whatever that had been just seconds too late. He won't let that be the end, though. He's going to find out what is going on no matter what.]
You did well. Rest now. We will talk again soon.
[Diarmuid knows she can't hear him, but he says it anyway. He then leans down to kiss her gently on the forehead. It's a promise to both him and to her. He's going to find out what this newest Tower mystery means...but not quite yet. For now, he will sit and bear witness to her sacrifice.]
