Amidst the collective grief, a poignant scene from HBO’s Euphoria has surfaced on the internet.

Feeling the song deep within, Fezco sings the lyrics by gesturing his heart, while Lexi smiles at him. Fezco holds Lexi’s hands when she wipes her tears rolling down her cheek and sings together, “And the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we’ll see. Oh, I won’t be afraid, just as long as you stand by me." The fan who shared the clip, wrote “RIP Fez."

Another fan shared the same video along with a note that read, “Angus Cloud came into Euphoria with no acting experience and then effortlessly created the show’s most charming character. He had a long career ahead of him, but Fez alone will be an iconic character for generations. I hope he’s at peace now."
