another cycle in the endless loop - that red thread of fate had them lashed together for good and bad, and all tied together with an anchor that always seemed to tug on them when they thought they were free from the past.

could you really trust a person who had a habit of disappearing off the face of the earth for decades at a time? he wanted to say no, he wanted to bow his head and back away from this whole conversation - but he couldn’t. a constant dance that they seemed to be looping back in and out of over and over again.
