Summary
Pete doesn’t have anyone waiting on him, no one sobbing on the sidelines of the finish line, screaming for him to keep walking. If he spends his last moments saving Ray Garraty, that would be a damn good end.
But he fucks up. He lets Ray pick him back up. Like he said, he could never deny the man a thing. Ray's voice breaking as he begs Pete to get back up is impossible to resist, even if it’s to save his life. Ray isn’t ready for it all to be over yet. That’s okay, Pete can walk with him just a little further.
He’s smiling to himself, shaking his head at Ray’s stubborn kindness, shoulder tingling with the phantom sensation of Ray squeezing it, when the two shots ring out behind him, echoing off the wet pavement.

or: Pete lives. Ray lives. They're not dying for each other, not today. Not ever, if either of them has a say.

Summary
Just because three people can’t walk in sync doesn’t mean that two people can’t.
