if you must live, darling one, just live (слэш)

The world has ended and Even is still alive.
He steps into the street, takes in the way the sun is shining onto the ruins. The silence of the town is at odds with the way the sun feels on Even’s skin. A distant warmth. The beginning of a movie. A sunrise, the hero turning his back on a ghost town, leaving.
Cut. Darkness. Fast forward to the light again.
Even starts walking.
