    ACT ??? Scene 15

    [THE TRAVELER blinks awake in a field from a dream.

    The sun is warm. The grass beneath is soft. It is, truly, a lovely day.]

    TRAVELER [Aside]: ...It's not so bad, is it? Being here in the loops?

    “What's up with the crosses?" the Traveller asks one day.


    The people of Mondstadt did not always have faith in Barbatos - neither did Barbatos always have faith in them.

    Summary

    “What’s even up there? All the interesting stuff is down here.”

    “There are stars!” And Isa sounds so, so excited to answer with that.

    “So?”

    This conversation tastes sugar-smoke familiar, but you can’t criticize it. The ache-urge in your chest colored that visceral shade you remember from the copper-caramel taste in your mouth always tries to get you to feel anger, rage, a surefire determination to fix what has gone forgotten, but that’s the shade that drove the King mad, and you don’t want to be some kind of ghost of him—it would be too easy. He reflects you, in your worst moments, but you aren’t allowed to carry glass anymore, so you aren’t allowed to carry him, either.

    (Weeks after the end of everything, the party finds an abandoned observatory.)

    Summary

    Reaching up, D-16 knocks his knuckles across Orion’s helm. Gently, of course. The stupid bot was damaged enough.

    “Go to sleep, Pax.”

    “But you have to listen to this! There’s this whole section–”

    D-16 sighs. Goes to lean against a slab that wasn’t his own. His spark spins, painful. Daresay calls it something like fond.

    or; before Megatron learned to hate, he learned to love, and it hurt more than any hate ever could.
