She is desperate, having been wounded and infected and he tries to help her overcome the pain while he tries to instill some hope in a future that seems uncertain to them.

From now on generates an atmosphere of discomfort and attempt at reconciliation by both. The last proof of love. The last flame. The last chant. The Swan's Song.
