  Summary

  Despite it all, despite the pain, the losses, the things both have given up. Balan finds that he doesn't want to do this alone, he doesn't want Lance, to do it alone anymore.

  They are two sides of the same coin, why should they suffer alone, when there's comfort in doing so together?
