Draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man
You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them
You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them
When Vox spoke, it was with too many mouths, the words echoing around and around in a way that would probably be grating to anyone else. But to Noe, it was just... him. And for a moment, she allowed herself to imagine what things would be like if he did stay. Difficult, no doubt; people wouldn't understand him, or their friendship. But it would be theirs all the same, and fuck what everyone else had to say about it.
But then he declined, and although a part of Noe had known that he would, it still hurt, stinging like a thousand tiny pinpricks into her soul at the thought that he would simply... disappear. He'd be out there somewhere, of course - but unreachable, like the stars. Or perhaps even more so, because at least the stars could be found in Safrin's presence in their world, and if the Family was gone forever -
Vox might as well cease to exist.
"I loved being your friend," she whispered then, her voice breaking. Somehow this was worse even than being cured, and the confusing mix of emotions she felt in the aftermath. "Even after they pricked me with the rose - I still missed you, even when I tried not to." And, gods how she had tried not to.
But then he was asking her to come with him, and she could see the possibilities of the life that he promised, and a part of her longed to say yes. But then she thought of Koa, and of her father, and of her friends, and she smiled sadly. "I wish I could," she said. "But... I have to stay with my family, too."

Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie
