Oh god... I've been through this already... That is what Sean thinks as he reads the question, face blanching under the light tan.
It is not a matter of choosing here, the memory is just not one he can forget, even if he has happier ones now...
He will always remember that day on a New Zealand hill... Amon Hen, as Tolkien had named it... Boromir carried that memory with him, and it is a memory that will always remain with Sean.
He remembers everything about it.. He remembers the empty feeling in the pit of his stomach, he remembers how cold he felt despite the heavy clothing and the warm, sunny day.. But above all he remembers Viggo becoming Aragorn and Aragorn bending low over him, his stricken face, the desperate look in his eyes mixing grief and failure. He remembers the tears.. real ones.. he remembers how warm Aragorn's lips felt when they touched his forehead.
He shivers, feeling the chill of death in his bones, just like he had felt it that day, then blood flows again, warm and tingling, because that day was after all not an end but a beginning.
