waiting in the dark

REMI

the lullaby

Every now and then the things
I lean on lose their meaning

It is perhaps a step too far, a reach that will cost him more than just his fingers, but Remi hasn't held his tongue since Aoife died; if that's part of the lesson he's meant to have learned, he's behind in his studies.

"It would be much easier if I didn't love him with everything I am." The alchemist says, breathing in a breath that for the first time in years feels as though it actually fully fills his lungs. 'How are we meant to stay on opposite ends of the scale that it would stay balanced when all I want is to be by his side?"

If anyone knew, surely it would be Vi. Vi whose love for the God of Death was famous. Lofty and perhaps out of touch with the scope of Vi and Mort's love, and what he shared with Ronin, still Remi thought if there was anyone who might understand his struggle, it was Vi.

But then again, he was a mortal asking a God for relationship advice. Perhaps it was simply an impossible comparison. Perhaps he was just an idiot for asking.

And I find myself careening in places
where I should not let me go

This is Sky's coding and you all know it
