"To start being different," he repeats, and the frown on his face is thoughtful. "I have become different, since we first met. Have you?"
The fact that they are sitting here now and having this conversation is evidence enough, of that, though as the ashes sink and colour as they land on the ground, cliffs begin to yawn and rise in their place. "What dreamcatcher?" he asks - for he never received the charming gift Remi made for him. It was lost in another dream, when he was flying so high that reality was nothing more than a speck.

With his shirt open, he plucks up his knife - and gently, with sure and steady fingers, begins to slice into his sternum. Flaying the skin and muscle back and ignoring the deep crimson that soaks his front, he deposits a juicy strip of flesh onto Remi's plate.
"No need to wait for me. It will take some time to get to the core of myself."
