Stellar Wing

I held him, crouching there in the snow, while he died. They let me do that.

yes! we talked about this a while ago but i was on the fence about reading into it that way. now i have far fewer doubts, so i'm glad you brought it up.

My love, you love your time machine Your power trips and diamond rings The walls you built on teenage dreams The well you dug for sinking things

Hate to say it's nothing new Aside from those few girls you keep around

But how will it end? How long will you give me 'Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me?

I fell for your faux fantasy You poured the wine, there's poison in it

And it freaks me out I'm old enough To know you as a gateway drug You're everything I'll never be You live to look for enemies

And I used to pretend that it didn't feel evil Your light of a million suns burns through people And bridges and cities 'til ash covers ground A breath of your air is a death wish And you're forcing my hand, but I'm a drop in your ocean I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion

re-read this chapter yesterday and i'm bashing my head against the wall because honestly i remembered the whole star and tree maiden parallel being more subtle than THIS

literally what was once given to him,,, love for magic,,, for cooking,,, for life,,, olruggio gave it to him

and now he's giving it to "the weakest creature on the land" (an unknowing child who's going through so much)
