“Because the truth is too awful” could be taken so many different ways.
“Because it was simple. He was a boy, and sometimes, boys die. He went to sleep, kissed me goodnight and his mother needed him home. And I couldn’t save him.”
“Because he was the abomination. Not the Darkhold, not me. I got addicted to power and had succubus magic I couldn’t always control, but he was the one who couldn’t live without murder.”
“Because I kept killing after he was gone, when he didn’t need it anymore. I used his song to murder innocent witches, even though he died to stop the bloodshed.”
“Because I didn’t respect his choice, Rio’s job or her motherhood, and let him go. I kept killing in a desperate attempt to get him back—and blamed his mother, my love, for his death—even though he was always going to die, I always knew that, and his life was a miraculous gift.”
It’s all of these. It’s none. I love Jac Schaeffer for that, and so hope we get more chapters.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME OP 😭😭😭
“Out of death… Life” is multifaceted too, my friend 😌🖤
