Pierce had often heard stories of sick or injured people waiting for their family and friends to leave their bedside before they kicked the bucket. It was a phenomenon no one could really explain, but he had to agree with it on some level. Who would want a fucking audience when you sign out for good? It's not like there is anything glamorous about death. True to typical fucking form, though, James effing Campbell never did anything conventionally. He didn't wait until the string of sobbing widows left the room to kark it, he waited until they left to wake up, probably knowing full well they all wanted to be there when he did. Days and days of them barely leaving his side, and barely a minute after the blonde bombshell other half walks out of the room, there is progress.

( The telltale choking on the ventilator was the first warning that was noted, and came just when Pierce himself was about to leave the room... )
