only he can make anguished eyes look so beautiful.
“Don’t try to fix me—some things are meant to be broken.”

It’s always the quiet ones that are hung.
“You’re more than the sky, Raine. You are the wind, the earth, the blood in my veins. I will never forget you.”
“You. And that’s something I cannot risk. Not ever. So hate me if you must, but you’ll be safe and you will be mine. I don’t need your affection in order to be happy. All I need is for you to still exist,”

The man behind him has gray hair streaked with dark strands of brown. His eyes are as evil as I remember, as auburn as my own. He wears Fernestia’s black cloak, a sun emblem at the center. And the motherfucker smiles at me the same way he would when he’d beat me. “Hello, son.”
