Elyas' one request, were he able to make one at this point, would be for Laurent to live on without him. A cruel request but this whole situation is cruel. Death is cruel. The death of that which should live on forever. Because he's still certain he won't get back up again. He's sure he can feel the repairs that the doctor is doing inside of him, yet he's not sure it'll be enough. He feels he's too far gone for it to make a difference.
So his one request would be that Laurent live on in his absence. Without Laurent, who would remember him? Who would he live on through if not for his vampire? He would understand if Laurent refused to fulfill the request (where the roles reversed, he couldn't do it. He couldn't live without the man he loves. Try though he might, he knows it would end in failure), but he'd still make it if he could. If he could form coherent thoughts and verbalize them. But he's beyond speech. He's beyond anything but pained cries.
Elyas writhes in pain and clutches at Laurent's hand as though digging his nails into his beloved's skin can lessen some of what he's going through. He would do anything to minimize some of the pain so he can die in relative peace. Were he given a choice, he would simply ask that Laurent hold him until the end. Make his last few moments the best they can possibly be. But that would mean asking Laurent to give up on him and that's simply not something either of that would stand for.
Actually, were he given a choice, Elyas wouldn't be in this position right now. He wouldn't be laying here, howling in pain and waiting for death as Laurent weeps over him. He would not opt to have the doctor elbow deep inside one of his wounds were he given a choice.
He isn't sure how long he spends lying there with the doctor reaching around inside of him, but it feels like that time stretches on forever. It feels like an eternity passes before the doctor speaks again, before she seems to indicate that she's finished. 'Done' is all that he can really make out. Does that mean she's finished her task? Or is this truly the end for the gumiho? Is Elyas done? Is it over for him? He isn't able to inquire further, though. He manages nothing more than a soft, pained 'Laurent' before he passes out.
