〝 𝑨𝑳𝑶𝑵𝑬 ？ 〞 death , so delicate and carefully handled , cradled in his lungs , strung along his rib cage , curled into his spine . something so uncanny , something so special . it’s all so precious : the concept , the reality , and what it becomes in the end . it’s so lonely . overly lonely . she fills him with a sorrow he knows so well , writhing within him , waiting for her to see . 〝 someone will remember you , 〞 he says to her like it’s a dream , a small string of hope cast out into the unknown , eager and forlorn . i wish . 〝 whatever you’ve done . they’ll say what they want and forget what they want , but —— 〞 their time is so fearsome . while each sun rises and sets , everything follows menacingly , achingly , sifting through fingers like sand . there is something festering in him , an innate desire to connect each and every piece , his and hers , and he looks to her , warm breath shared between them in little clouds , his eyes full and swirling with something . 〝 i’ve always wanted to be with someone , 〞 everyone , everything / as it should be , as it will be 〝 if we could go together , never leaving each other behind and knowing the real truth , it’d be perfect . not alone . not afraid . 〞 his feet sink into the snow as he steps farther forward toward the cliffs edge , peering down below at the village sitting pretty and alone . alone , always alone . a smile curls on his face , head turning back to her with a strange softness in his gaze . 〝 you could choose that . we all can . 〞
