"The unique droplet meets its comrades-" she coughed, a slow, painful cough.

 

"No...comrade is-" *cough* "-not the-" *cough* "-right-" *cough* *cough* *cough* "-WORD!"

"Yes...dissolv-" *cough"

 

"Losing that sense of-" *cough* "-self"

 

"You have your stupid metaphor, the last drop...HA!...of wisdom you were expecting of me. Now...all of you leave...LEAVE! LEAAAAAAAAA-!" *cough*... *COUGH*

"please...let me go..."

 

*cough*
