As painful as the first one is, the second one was actually harder for me to write. Those who are in the know will probably guess why...

Title: Nothing Left to Lose
Day/Theme: August 31: Tell me, beloved rarity / tell me, rare love / where are you now?
Series: The Matrix Revolutions
Character/Pairing: Neo/Trinity

Note: Takes place toward the climax, when Neo approaches the Machine City; stream-of-consciousness stuff, possibly angsty. I wrote this for my dear friends "Neo" and "Trinity" over on for_zion. I love you guys.
