#chasing shadows

hal telling his theater troupe “know with every word you breathe tonight, you will be giving this city something to believe in.” 💚

hannan telling vaelus “I think she hated us. … an eternity to have all of your complexity, all of your possibility, all of your dreams folded into an idyllic paradise where you would be punished for the most minor infraction. … our immortal lives given to us, and in exchange, we gave up the ability to have freedom... our own lives... our own stories. everything was hers. what is that other than hate?” and vaelus saying tearfully “that feels awful to hear. but I think you’re right.”

vaelus asking “may I have a moment, kattigan?” and kattigan saying “yes.” and then,,, still standing there 🤣

murray telling demodus “you crushed it, baby boy.” 🥹

thaisha telling occtis “you’re my family, too.” 🥺

azune listening to all the bickering and shouting “enough, enough! enough!”,,, he has never been hotter

occtis gesturing to tyranny and saying “I don’t even know who this one is except for she tried to eat me.” and tyranny snapping “shut up, snack.” 😂
