“The storm’s real loud outside now” Ben says, calmly, as his body dissolves into the aether. At peace with his fate, he accepts the inevitable, he does not fight it, for he knows it is futile. The strangely calming sound of the raging storm outside is only briefly drowned out by Rowan’s gut-wrenching cry of sorrow and despair. Then silence... with only the raging storm as his companion, weeping, not only with him, but his comrades, who suffered the same fate, as well.

The references in this are so good, Doctor Who's Tenant "I don't want to go" before regeneration, hands out and head to the sky. Matrix Switch's "Not like this" before being unplugged and falling unceremoniously to the ground and finally the more recent but no less popular Marvel's Peter Parker "I don't feel so good" before being scattered into the winds like ash. You captured the movements, the emotions and the delivery of all of them whilst keeping in theme of the scene so kudos to the whole team for nailing it.
