thena leaving you because she's scared that she'll hurt you, but she just can't cope with completely leaving your life, so she watches over you for the rest of it. she watches you move on and fall in love all over again, wishing it were her. she never lost that love for you and she likes to think that you never lost it for her either, but she'll never know. she missed her chance.
ikarus' last wish to sersi being to watch over you and break the news gently of his death. he can't bear the thought of you being alone and he knows how much the greif will affect you, but he hopes someone like sersi will be your new rock in life and help you through the situation. his last words being a shaky "thank you" as sersi vows to fulfil his wish
druig loosing you on a mission so he locks himself away and mourns you alone, everyone tries to help and get through to him, but no one is successful, not even makkari. for a very long time all he can do is think about you and blame himself for your loss. when he eventually starts letting down his walls, everyone tries their absolute best to comfort him, but the terrifying images from his nightmares overpower their words.
you leaving gilgamesh because he's too wrapped up in missions, he feels as if he has no right to fight back and try to win your heart again because you're completely right and justified, but he can't do anything about it because he's forced to put being an eternals first, no matter how much he wants you to be his number one priority. even after a year, he still accidentally lays a place for you in the table and makes your favourite drinks to just sit on the side, untouched, hoping one day you'll come back and drink the entire glass again, with a small smile and a blissful expression on yohr face.
kingo loving you from afar, his love probably unrequited, but he's too scared and hesitant to find out. he sticks with you through thick and thin. the shame seeping through his veins causing hom to always kick himself, longing for a future that was always too far out of his reach
sersi leaving all sorts of hand written notes, including poems, letters, and stories based on your relationship, behind for the scenario that she doesn't return. she instructs every single eternal to make sure that you get them, no matter the cost. she just cannot bear the thought of not being able to say goodbye on her own terms. she cries everytime while writing them, but it's better than imagining the pain you'd go through if your beloved didn't say goodbye
you being put at risk because makkari is an eternal, so she tearfully breaks the news to you that you can't be together anymore because she's too scared for your safety, you cry in eachother's arms for hours and say your final goodbyes, neither of you wanting to let go of the other's hand. sue promises she'll visit from time to time, but she never does, or at least not that you know of. she's saved you from harm on four seperate occasions, the sudden blur flashing past the corner of your eye going unnoticed all times except for one. but that's all makkari could be to you anymore, an unnoticed rush of motion in the corner of your eye
