These are the last blues we're ever gonna have
Remi listens, absorbing Sunjata’s words with a stillness that is unnatural for him, his breath shallow, his fingers twitching at his sides. It felt nice.

His gaze locks onto Sunjata’s, hard, despite the cracks he can feel forming through his resolve. "If it comes down to it...is their hold that strong, do you think?"
