Okay, so what I couldn't figure out is this: did they die and then this beautiful sunrise was their gift/afterlife? Or did they survive and this is reality?
And after spending at least fifteen minutes pondering this, I realised that it didn't matter whether it was real or they were dead, because they were together and that was the beauty of it. So whether they were literally breathing or not doesn't matter, and this line (" he takes the entire moment in and knows that this is the way he will remember them, always. this will be his last thought: gabe and him, lying in bed with nothing but skin between them and the promise of something bigger than the room they are in, bigger than the city and the state and the whole water world they are barely living in.") is what makes it all so perfect
( ... )
i have to say, i'm glad it doesn't matter to you. the main thing i wanted to express with this fic is that they all loved each other so much, they had to be together in the end. every last one of them, all of their friends, gathered together to say goodbye and i love you. just so you know, they were alive in the end. there was hope after all and what they have can continue in a new kind of world.
