Carmen
It was the fever that got to her at the end as she was under the covered tent. As she lay on the desert floor, she closed her eyes before she heard thunder. Her eyes shot open, and all she saw was Gabriel, flying down toward her, giving her his hand, bringing behind him relief from this world, and she began to smile. However, it was light brighter than Gabriel that interfered with her happiness. She struggled to see him, standing there, his eyes the most sad she has ever seen them. She then understands that she doesn't want relief, even if it is by divine mandate. She realized that she wants to suffer in this world just a little bit longer, with him.
