everything was better when your eyes were closed. it was easy to pretend like you weren't the last ones left when your eyes were closed.

first it was haibara. that really set everything off.

then it was suguru.

then it was nanami.

you were the only ones left. and you knew that. you were surprised shoko handled it as well as she did, even though she still really didn't.

sometimes when the sun is just low enough it was easy to pretend like the sun would rise and it would be okay.

everyone knew this job wasn't easy. hell, you practically signed off on your own brutal death the second you learned the words jujitsu sorcerer. you wished you'd known better.
