it's 2am and i took 17 shots of vodka trying to forget your name
but the only name i forgot was mine. and sober —
Try as she might to not listen to Hotaru’s own quiet goodbyes, she still hears them. She still breaks with them, letting them wash over her and drown her own sorrow with it. Hotaru had known her mother longer than Kiada had, and while she’d had that blood attachment to the Penumbra, it was Hotaru’s companionship that had made her an aunt, a second mother when Rexanna wasn’t around. And now? Now the Penumbra was gone.
She waits for when the Valkyrie steps back, shuddering breaths reaching her as she shivers and clings to her aunt while Deimos moves to light the pyre, letting the fire reflect in her red rimmed eyes. She pulses her love to Deimos, her appreciation for him being the one to light the flame, but for the rest of it, she simply steps back and watches as her mother burns.
She watches as her mother takes the last piece of Halyven with her too.
And finally, when she can’t stand to look anymore, her gaze drops to the ground, eyes squeezing shut as she lets herself embrace her emotions and sorrow.
