Summary
“Yeah. I was 21 and he was 22.” a quiver slipped into his tone. He stared down at his sketchbook again, looking into those eyes that had haunted him for a long time. “Now, I’m 30 and he’s still 22. He’s forever 22.”

Summary
But sometimes, the nightmares still crawl inside to drag him back into darkness. Show him the most twisted and wretched places of his soul. The things he can never atone for.
How ironic that it catches up with him now of all times, ready to damage what is left of his battered connection with Ivan. Even after all this time, Till can’t help but to hurt him without even meaning to…
Unintentionally, his fingers are drawn back to his neck and he flinches briefly when they brush over the fresh bruises. The twisted smile on his lips deepens. He needs to set this right.

“Isn’t it so romantic,” the offender croons, batting his eyelashes like a blushing school-girl,
“That you were the last thing I saw, before I died?”
Parasites take haste and burrow deep into their host’s flesh. Parasites consume all that is good and all that is warm – but only what is necessary – so as to keep their host half-alive.

Summary
"Hey, Till?"
Looking up, the silver haired met with the raven hair's eyes; has his eyes always been that color? Annoyed at the moment, the silver haired gently placed his sketchbook on the artificial grass he was sitting on in ANAKT Garden.
"What? What do you want?"
"If I were to die one day, would you miss me? Would you care?"
Scoffing, a smirk appeared on his face, showing nothing but sarcasm.
"No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't show one ounce of worry if you died."
Or:
Post-Karma, Till's hallucinations finally gotten to him, realizing his feelings for Ivan way too late.

Summary
Clearly fed up with the ghosts of her past (both literally and figuratively), Mizi stands up on shaky legs and cracks open the metal door in front of her.
The sun hits her skin as she sets her feet into the grains of sand beneath her. It’s hot, and it scorches a bit, but she couldn’t care less. Sporting nothing but a bra and some underwear she doesn’t recall where she got from, she would usually feel uncomfortable, exposed at the least, but decency had left her long ago.
She sits down in the hot sand, sucking in a breath as it contacts her skin. She uses her pointer finger to draw crude stick figures of Dewey and Issac, it grounds her a bit.
”I wonder what they think of me now…” Mizi ponders, although the answer to the question is abundantly clear.
She’s always preferred not to face the truth of things, and old habits die hard.

The life of a lone traveler, plagued with apparitions of her past failures. Will the witch ever find peace in this sick, twisted world?

Summary
“You wrote it.” It’s not a question. “Unlike the songs you played for the others.” He smiles at Till as if he solved a puzzle within seconds, looking through him with ease.
Heat rises into his cheeks and he briefly nods, unable to look Ivan in the eye. It’s not that he’s uncomfortable sharing it with him, it’s just – a lot…
“I could sing it for you,” Ivan suddenly offers; casually as if it’s no big deal, although it has the power to unleash a whole storm of contradictions. “If you want to.”
It catches Till off guard. Makes his heart clench, before it starts to race and for a second he feels vulnerable, and small, his song idiotic and unworthy and not enough, but he’s tired of being a coward. Swore himself to stop running away; especially when it’s about Ivan…
--
Or: Ivan gives his voice to the songs Till can’t sing anymore.

“You saw me,” he murmured to the empty air. “You saw me bleeding, and you never asked if I was all right.”
Ivan froze. The echo of that accusation passed through him like cold water.
