#like holy shit yes
so fond of characters who haunt their stories, who exist without actually existing at all. when a character is long gone, but persists in the actions and words of all the characters they have left behind. when everything to come unfolds because of them. when they are both dead and the beating heart at the very center of the narrative… that’s the stuff __
it’s like… all of this happened because of you, and you weren’t even around to see it
