Hotaru
The muddling of memories in the wake of loss is well known, and she feels touched to have been privy for even a moment to the lasting bits of Remi’s mother that live on inside him. “Perhaps you should write it down then, and your children can carry it on.” Maybe Remi will sing it cradleside to their child when he visits, or Mateo’s lilting mother tongue will pass it down the lineage.

Halo’s affairs do not belong here, where he is all bronze smiles and sunshine. “But the baby has started kicking, and has refused to stop since. I know it’s not exactly the same but…?” Ru directs his hand to her belly, letting him feel if he so desires before smiling. “Or I could come to you. I want you to be there for the big moments.”
