He found Gustave instead.

Summary
War changed people.
Gustave had left Paris to serve with honor, but when he finally returned home, he was a shell of himself—broken in more ways than one. It seemed wholly unfair that Verso Dessendre had come out unscathed.

Summary
He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.
The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.
Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.
“Run,” Verso croaks.
Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.

Summary
Freshly repainted, Gustave doesn't remember anything about his prior entanglement with Verso - but he finds himself drawn to Lumière's pianist all over again.
With Verso reluctant to tell him the truth, Gustave soon finds himself falling back into the same old patterns: a secret relationship, the hint of something forbidden, and the familiar pressure of a welcome hand around his throat.
