After completing his PhD, Ienzo is invited home to spend time with his convalescing father, Ansem. Returning to the small, mountainous Radiant Garden brings memories and omens of a bitter, dark truth yet revealed about the past. Complicating matters, Ienzo runs into his ex and first love Demyx, whom he has not seen in seven years. As loved ones pass and old feelings threaten to reignite, Ienzo ends up in a race to remember the past, or else destroy the present. Updates Fridays until it's done. Content warnings: Terminal illness, loss of a parent, memory fuckery
