it burns all clean

the lullaby

i don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think they'd understand

You did, but it is alright, Remi might have said. I had it coming, after all. Now more than ever.

Whether the supernova hasn't worked, if Safrin is just being dramatic, or if time has merely gone awry here in the desert, for a brief eternity, Remi doesn't move even as Ronin's light fades. It isn't that the Lullaby is shying away from life moreso it's that as his bones begin to itch and his skin stretches back toward itself over open wounds, he doesn't quite understand. It's a process unlike anything that he's capable of, and while he waits for death in the cave of what used to be his mind, he simply has no idea what's happening as Ronin weaves him back to life.

When at least Remi becomes a thing capable of having pronouns ascribed back to him, he doesn't burst awake with a gasp, but with a shallow strangle. One of his lugs is still punctured and incapable of holding oxygen while the other is threatening to collapse out of sheer annoyance.

it's                         okay.
                  you can                    let   me                                         go

                       no      one                has     to                           know

when everything's meant to be broken,
i just want you to know who I am
