Upon seeing him ease the grip on his hands, Lily panicked and placed one of her hands on his. She looked into his eyes, showing her true concern and worry. She had been in his shoes before. Jumping to his death would not solve his problems, no matter how much it seemed like they would. Her throat felt like lumps were forming, her heart was palpitating, her face broke out into a cold sweat. She couldn't let him die.<br/><br/>"I'm not going to let you do this..." Lily spoke up, "If you jump, then I guess I'm going down with you. I can't let the person who saved my life end his. I know that life feels empty, and hopeless. Just, at least listen to what I'm saying and think about it... You could make such a lasting impression on people with your talents and gifts. You could do so much with your life, and have it mean something. I know life is hard and it will have bad times, but there are also good times. You just have to open your eyes and see them. I'm not going to let you jump without a fight. You are going to get off of this ledge. We are both going to get off of this ledge, and step away from the bridge. I'm going to show you that there is more to life than what you believe there is. Just give me a chance to prove it. If not, then I'll leave you be, but not until you give me a chance to prove you wrong. That is all I'm asking out of you!" she looked at him, staring daggers into his eyes and her lips curled into a frown.<br/><br/>By this time, there were people watching in horror and fear. One or two people even called 9-1-1 in an attempt to get help on the way. This was a rather dire, and risky situation. It was especially so when it dealt with the emotional and mental states of the people involved. Lily had noticed, but she chose to ignore the commotion behind her. Her focus was on Shinji.
