Steven… you must have been so afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we’re not going anywhere. We’re all gonna take care of you the same way you take care of us.
“-But I saw many paths ahead of you. And we are a part of all of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there, whenever you need us. We love you, Steven.” “I love you too.”
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
