when you bury your pain
Finn breaks into a boyish smile that, even with the glasses, probably makes he and the Alchemist look a lot more alike than they have any right to, and he’s just about chuckling when the other man reaches out and gives him a shove. It’s a strange sensation, even at first; the hand that goes sinking into him, feeling like nothing at all. Only then it does feel like something. Something is dislodged and Finn can see himself, suddenly.
And not just in the Remi sense. He can see himself, his lifeless body crumpling to the ground while he’s still standing nearby. His breath stutters in his chest at the same time as he’s acutely aware that he doesn’t actually need to breathe any more, but there’s pure terror in his eyes as he gazes back at Remi.
”What did you just do...?”
