#myut

Gift for @a-shy-mimiktwo! Now, I drew Myut from memory, and didn't have the chance to look at his reference until after I got this mostly completed, so I apologize for any screw-ups! Oh! And I added my own headcanon for his missing arm if that's okay with you. (The little exposed bone)

"Myut, I..." "I shouldn't have left the way I did. I should've at least told you. I'm sorry."

He pulled her close.

“Mm-hm…”

“Before I go check on him—why are you in the ceiling?”

“I’m fine. Go. Check on him.”

Kura left Kane where he was and flew up to Myut’s room.

Exactly where it had always been.

She knocked.

“Myut? Are you alright?”

Silence.

“I’m coming in.”

…

She opened the door to find him sitting on the floor, knees to his chest, staring at nothing.

She drifted closer, settling beside him.

“You’ve grown since the last time I saw you,” she said gently. “You look healthier.”

No response.

“…”

She hesitated.

“…I never meant to leave for a year, Myut. Neither did Lyra. Time dilation—it messed things up. We thought we’d only been gone a few days.”

“No shit.” he snapped, his voice cracking. “I’m not stupid. I’m angry because you both left without saying anything.”

The words collapsed into sobs.

“Damn it… I really thought I was past this,” he choked. “I thought I’d moved on. Guess I just forgot what the pain felt like.”

He clenched his arm stump, fingers digging in as if it could still feel.

“And Lyra leaving with you just made it worse. She never once apologized for what she did to me.”

A bitter laugh escaped him.

Oh, how they’ve grown
