I want to find my bones.

There aren't any bones to find.

[dusk_to_night]

There's got to be something.

[dealing_death]

Ashes.

[dusk_to_night]

I guess that's for the best. I don't know what I would do with a bunch of ashes.

[dealing_death]

Would you like them? I returned most of them to your family.

[dusk_to_night]

...You kept some of my ashes?

[dealing_death]

I did, yes.

[dusk_to_night]

But... why Selene? Things weren't exactly great the way they ended with us...

[dealing_death]

How or why things ended changes nothing about how I felt about you.

[dusk_to_night]

Yeah but... [Confusion. Because this was a girl who set fire to things when she was upset.]

...How we felt never was the problem, was it?

I'm sorry.

[dealing_death]

No, that wasn't the problem.

You owe me no apologies, love. Things happen. I am sorry I gave up.

[dusk_to_night]

Stupid Beatles... deluding generations of impressionable people with their catchy shit songs. I think I probably do owe you apologies, whatever you might think. I'm sorry I gave up too.

Thank You for keeping some of my ashes. That means a lot to me, weirdly enough.

[bitterguardian]

Are you certain they... still exist to find?

[dusk_to_night]

No.
I think they're long gone. I turned to ash when I died both times.

[bitterguardian]

I'm sorry. Not being able to hold onto what your soul wants is painful.

[dusk_to_night]

Story of my life, really.

Are you having tea or coffee?

[bitterguardian]

Mmm. I'm not the best storyteller, but... tea?

[dusk_to_night]

Tea it is. I need serious caffeine.

[dealing_death]

You had more reason to give up than I did.

Would you like them back? Seems like it might be odd for me to keep them now.

[bitterguardian]

You're allowed coffee. Are we going out, or in?

[dusk_to_night]

I'm not actually sure what I would do with them, to be honest.

[dusk_to_night]

I need exercise so.. Out.

[dealing_death]

Was there a reason you wanted your bones?

Icons. Paid status is back.

[dusk_to_night]

I think I just wanted to see them. To touch what I used to be. Every day it just feels more and more like an old dream.

[bitterguardian]

I suppose I always need exercise...
