when you're gone, i'll retrace your steps (they led me to a stool and the noose you had left)

Chapter 2: plus one

Chapter Text

Itecho was lying in a bed of flowers.

Except there were no flowers. Instead, it was a pool of red, clinging stubbornly to his grey strands.

As he lay still, the drops on his hair, once liquid, were starting to coagulate.

The pool became a sea. An endless, oozing puddle as far as the eye can see.

And next to his limp hand was a small pistol—a beacon of light,

Which lit for him the way back home,

To a figure clad in black and gold.

Notes:

once dance of winter comes out, there'll definitely be a rewrite because i am heavily struggling with the characterization
kudos & comments are highly appreciated :)
