[There's a part of Tifa that savors the screaming, the struggling, even the blood. The shiv is dull enough that she has to saw to cut him open, and the gore gets all over her gloves, soaking through to the skin. But this is what he deserves. Nathan, Cloud, even her own death-maybe they wouldn't have happened if she had done this sooner.]

[ Sawing - she saws, she takes her time, and it's everywhere, it's all over him and her and it hurts, it's blinding. Royce can't hear Alfie except for the keening he thinks might be the gangster but he can't concentrate enough for it - he just screams himself hoarse, it comes in waves, he gasps for breath and chokes, and the blood comes up and out of his mouth, spills down his lips.

It gets to a point where he can't struggle. He loses track of his limbs and just whines on his exhales, his breath short and shallow. He closes his eyes. He will not watch his insides spill out on the floor, he knows - he knows how it looks when it's someone else and he can't. ]

[Somehow, it felt like the right thing to do, cutting him open. She's not sure why. Instinct, maybe, but this seems like the best way to correct what he's done. Now that it's over, though, she pauses, sitting back. The blood is all over the place, soaking into her jeans and making the floor slick, and she bites her lip.]

I'm sorry. I wouldn't have had to do this if you had just helped us.

[And then she leans forward to slit his throat. There's no sense in letting him die slowly when she's done what she needed to do.]

[ It's merciful. Way more merciful than what Alfie got. Royce can't see him from the angle he's at, but he'll know later. She slits his throat efficiently and he has his eyes closed, doesn't see it coming, and it's - a relief. He chokes, gurgles - the noise that comes out of him almost sounds like a thank you.

He would've let them bleed out, were things reversed.

There's so much blood, everywhere, all over. Royce drags in one last wet, gagging breath - and then goes limp. He's gone. ]
