oh wow, that's so perfect for Horatio and Hamlet, but I'm also going to cry now. Especially since Hamlet is perhaps at his strongest as he falls. And Horatio supports his choice even as he urges "if your mind dislike anything, obey it" and tries to guide him back from the edge.
Sidenote: the worst way to cut Hamlet is to have Laertes' last line be "the king, the king's to blame" instead of exchanging forgiveness, because when it comes down to it, his justice isn't about accusations, but reparations and growing to a peace.
