“Can’t you touch anything without breaking it?” [shadowxking] 8)
EINZ.
His mother dropping like a stone into a well, her soul curling into his mind like fine thread.
ZWEI.
His daughter tumbling into freefall, her body red and burnt. Magda shrieking with grief and terror as something monstrous took hold of her husband, and the village - men, women, children - paid the price.
DREI.
Charles crashing to the sand, the sun hot on Erik’s back.
Who the Hell are you? He can’t form words, his teeth gritted together in agony at what he’s being forced to relive, but he knows they’re in his head. He can feel it. It makes him want to throw up.
Part of him wants to scream for Charles. Pathetic, that he’s become so reliant on someone else to aid him. Worse still that he’s become complacent enough not to keep his helmet at his side, no matter where he is or how safe he feels. It’s never safe.
