you are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world
There’s an echo of disappointment in Finn, too, but it’s as though the shutters are coming back down around him again now. As though his brain has said enough and he’s powerless to stop it. He always is, in these moments, and he glances up as Remi turns back, a flicker of a smile on his face that’s gone too quickly. ”I should hope not,” he quips regarding the other man getting home.
The gratitude makes it awkward, however much Finn does appreciate it, and he lowers his gaze and nods, unable to hold the green stare for longer than a second or two. ”You’re welcome,” he says, taking a deep breath in through the nose and nodding his version of a farewell to Remi.
Then he’s simply gone, turned back to walk the path down into Haulani, a shadow slipping into deeper shadows.

is why you are in so much pain
