Animorphs Readalong: TMG Version discussion

Tobias.

He had morphed. He was his human self once more. He’d done that for me. And because he was crying. I understood. Humans cry, hawks don’t.

“I love you,” I said to the screen.

And oh, god, how could so much regret and so much sweetness and so much sadness all be present in that single moment? I was already dead and missing my unlived life. I was already dead and Tobias was mourning.

I tried to smile. For him.

The polar bear said, “You fight well, human.”
Then he killed me with a single blow.”
