Oskar's love for Eli overcomes his self-preservation instinct. "Now that I've known your love, life wouldn't be worth living without you. So yes, Eli, I'll do it so that you can live on. I have one last request to make of you. I want you to give me a long, open-mouthed kiss like they do in the movies."

Eli takes Oskar tenderly in her arms. Her kiss lasts ten minutes and makes endorphins course all through his body. Finally she says, "Forgive me, Oskar," sinks her fangs into his neck and begins drinking his blood. He feels the pain caused by her bite being dissolved quickly by the endorphins, and from then on he obtains immense pleasure from her closeness until he passes out.
