"The only thing that's real is us."
--Sylar to Peter, season 4, episode 18, "The Wall"

Sylar and Peter, the only people in Sylar's world. Together. Alone. For 9 years. 9 years. Sylar gropes Peter, worries about him being lonely, brings him comic books, tries to get him to eat, helps Peter work out his grief over Nathan after Peter gives Sylar a birthday present. Peter forgives Sylar for killing Nathan. Then they break down the wall together. (Breaking down walls together? Kring, you just don't know how to do subtle metaphors, do you?)

You think that's all? No, there's more: a glimmer of Nathan, still there, in Sylar's mind. OH MY NATHAN, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. AND YOU'RE STILL THERE!

Oh Heroes, how I wish I could quit you. ♥
