Akiva says goodbye to Seth for the second and final time....
Comic transcript
Akiva brings Seth's glowing red spirit closer to her, tears streaming down her face as hundreds of other souls fly by. AKIVA: "I love you. I love you so much, and I'm sorry. Goodbye." With so little time, and the pull of rebirth so strong and overdue, Seth's spirit escapes her grasp and soars into the light. Akiva drops her head and hands. Azrael watches the souls go beside her, his expression sad but peacefully so. AZRAEL: "Thank you, Akiva. You did well. I owe you a great debt."
