Hesitant Lullaby

Please, full view! I didn't resize it, so it's humonguous(sp?)! Just a warning.

Latem closed his eyes, leaning heavily against Glacia. She'd been by him since the malfuncion, the virus, every day. He raised a hand to tug at the oxygen mask over his mouth, feebly trying to remove what was keeping him alive, but he didn't even have the strength for that. It was hard to breath, and even harder to talk, but after some effort he adressed the woman at his back, "....Glacia....I-I..have a favor to ask.....I w..want you to put me to sleep...," he paused long enough to take in a shuddering breath, "....and never let me wake up again.....I can't do it myself..but I can't stay here......."
The scientist looked surprised, glancing at him from the corner of her eye before returning her gaze to the small monitor in her hand. Both it and the terminal mounted in the wall said the same thing. Complete failure. Extensive neural system damage, metal bone supports shattered, bio-mech heart and lung malfunctioning. Everything was going wrong, the virus was destroying him from the inside, attacking synthetic systems and living tissues alike. They couldn't stop it. It was going to kill the man Glacia had fought so hard to save. Of course, that was only if he didn't end it himself first. "....If things don't look up soon...," the doctor replied quietly, looking toward the computer terminal. She could end this, with just the push of a button.

I'm just uploading pictures from my DA and Sheezy galleries that I have a particular liking too. The sketch is an older image so there are anatomy errors and I am indeed aware of them.
