[He pleads with every inch of his face, even with his frozen hand just beginning to reach out for her, the look in his eyes just screaming for Lup to go to him, to let him wrap her up in his arms, to give him the chance to take her safely home. But whatever remains of his sister is only enough to keep Taako safe, not enough to contest the emotions warring so violently within her. There's just not enough of Lup left to fight.
Taako freezes and the lich remains there hovering in front of him for only a moment, the shadowy space beneath her hood an expressionless void, before she's drifting right through the elf again, phasing through his body to leave. To put as much distance as she can between herself and him, to keep Taako safe from the destruction that's going to come.
That's how unbreakable you and I are, babe.
Lup may be further away than she's ever been from him, including the years she'd been unseen at his side, but her words of so many months earlier still ring true. Even like this, even if she can't go to him like he wants, they're connected in a way that defies the very nature of an unstablized lich. He's still the whole of her beating heart, even when she doesn't have one.]
