this is it. this is the last chapter in the series (but certainly not the last video edit i make of these two).
this is a bittersweet moment for me. it's no secret i love the chemistry between Madelaine and Ben but these two characters in particular completely stole my heart (especially since sweet, domestic vibes is not something common for my edits). and it makes me so happy others love them just as much as i do. because i really wasn't sure if i'll finish this series (despite my initial passion for it) when i first started it, but having people excited for the next chapter really pushed and motivated me to not give up on it. so, thank you! also thank you for being patient with me while i spend months on each chapter, trying to find the perfect scenes (you seriously have no idea how many times i've changed a scene just because it doesn't flow with the rest).
as for the ending, it may come as a surprise to some even if i've hint it a bit in previous parts. i didn't know how this series will end at first but after the second part i already knew ellen's fate and it was only fair for benjamin's to be similar because... they belong together. here or in the afterlife.

p.s. the date i upload this video is not random, it's officially one year since i uploaded the first chapter in the series and i wanted to make it a full cycle.
also, isn't if fate that the trailer for Madelaine's new movie came just in time so i can include the perfect "wedding" scenes in this edit!

STORY: Ellen is a violinist and a child prodigy who suffers a vicious attack which leaves her blind.
Without her sight, Ellen’s life turns dark.
Without her, Benjamin’s life turns colorless.
For months Ellen tried to adjust to her new lifestyle but was unable to. She couldn’t bear being trapped inside her own mind, trapped inside utter darkness. A burden to her loved ones, to him.
The signs were all there, Benjamin just chose to ignore them, believing their love is strong enough to uphold any obstacle on their path. It wasn’t and now she’s gone. And he can finally truly understand her.
Trapped in all the memories they’ve shared together, he tries to find the strength to move on, to do what she asked of him in her last will but the pain of losing his true soulmate is too much, too unbearable. And his old vices are stronger than ever.
On his way back from their place (the place they used to go whenever they felt like disappearing for a little while), Benjamin gets into a car accident and falls into a coma. And for the first time in weeks he’s able to see colors again.

P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen Sightless (though you should!) Sasha [Alicia Vikander] is Ellen's best friend (I think?) but here she's also Benjamin's half-sister, who introduced him to Ellen in the first place.
