    Summary

    The poison is in his blood, and Hamlet is finally quiet enough to listen.

    Between the words of the soliloquy he's been rehearsing his whole life, he slips into the lives he could have had: the one where he joked with Laertes, the one where he understood his mother, the one where Ophelia kept dropping flowers into streams and living. It is a far cry from redemption. It is only a death, slowed down enough to see all the exits he walked past.

    Horatio is holding his hand. That part stays the same.

    Summary

    “I want no more death.” Ophelia’s voice trembles. “I want—”

    She wants the dead alive again, or the ghosts dead. She wants to hate Hamlet, but the memory of his small uncalloused hand against her own holds her back as surely as a physical grip.

    “You cannot have it,” Lady Macbeth says.

    Dreams, somewhere in the past, somewhere in the north.

    Summary

    What would happen if he talked to her, but she didn’t know who he was? What if she didn’t know who she was? When she had handed out her “flowers,” singing bawdy rhymes, there was a fractured sort of look in her eyes, like a part of her soul was bent beyond repair.
    Hamlet was a decent actor, but he never had that look.

    Horatio checks in on Ophelia. Together, they can vent, they can heal, but madness is thick, and the tragedy marches on.
