There it was. Both of you standing on the now levitating platform, the rain falling down on you both as if the "sky" was sobbing. The crowd, the amount of people, even the music itself...all of it was suffocating. You can't do anything now. You're up against Till, your friend since childhood.
Your voice gets shakier as you reach the bridge of the song. Till seems to be in the same situation, but is still trying to compose himself.
One of you has to die. There's no other way of it happening.
Suddenly, you hear something fall on your right, the microphone. Till rushed towards you, then took your cheek in his hand.
He then pulled you into a needy kiss, something aliens would consider weird or unsettling. He had to let you know about all the feelings he's hidden from you. How much he wants to be close with you. How much he..wants to let you know that he cares.
Till kisses you one last time. He looks up, the votes are 87 to 70. Suddenly, he chokes you, but it seemed like he was reluctant to.
He smiles as he feels a sharp pain in his abdomen and arm, blood dripping out his mouth. He falls onto the platform, bleeding and unconscious.
