Alfred pulls one hand out of Herbert's grip, moving it up to cup his cheek. He's still a little frail from his experiments, but better than he had been.

"Eternity...together. I - this really was always meant to be, wasn't it? You - you really were what I was looking for, this whole time...."

Another kiss - and as he does, a warm, familiar voice, softly laughing from the back of Alfred's mind.

'It's good to be home, my dear.'
