Cover art for Gravity's Union lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

This song takes us back before the car crash in Number City, revealing the conversation that Meri and Sirius had before their tragic accident. Meri has decided that she cannot stay with Sirius, and that even before he had left on his fateful mission to the Keywork, she was not satisfied with their relationship and constantly feeling like she was placed second behind his research. She reveals her relationship with Colten and the fact that she is pregnant with his child; upon hearing the news, Sirius is overcome with emotion and loses control of the car, leading to the accident.

We then move forward to the couple in the hospital, where a surgeon named Dr. Straight tends to Sirius's injuries and saves his life. However, Meri's injuries prove too great and the medical team cannot save her or her baby.
