    Summary

    Vox's screen fills his field of vision, arresting his spiraling thoughts.

    He's holding a needle and thread.

    Alastor's smile is curdling at the edges, but he doesn't break eye contact. Vox's gaze devours him, always so wide and hungry, but there's something else lurking in his expression that has Alastor not quite as wary as he should be, perhaps, because it's not sadism or even cruelty in the way Vox is looking at him now. Vox's smile is calmer. He's quieter, no longer jumpy with excitement like he'd been earlier today, although still smug and a little too pleased with himself. Far more tolerable than before, at least.

    "How about it?" Vox says, cocking an eyebrow. He holds the needle like an offering, like Alastor has a choice.

    Alastor deliberately leans back, letting his head rest against the wall with the vain hope that it will make the room stop spinning. "By all means."

    Or: Finally alone together, Alastor reopens some emotional wounds as Vox fixes his physical ones.

    Summary

    After six months, Shane supposes that he can now say he's sober and have it mean something. But it only means something to everyone else; to him, he's still struggling with the apathy that he can no longer dull with a drink. With the promises he's made holding back the floodgates of relapse, he finds himself walking back through Cindersap Forest in the rain.

    Summary

    It's not until much later in the day that Shane attempts to kill himself, but it technically all begins at six in the morning, with a moderately severe hangover and a promise made to Jas. Some days what happens before the end is equally important: a soul-sucking retail job, a drunken crush on the local doctor, and the ghost of a dead best friend. Everything matters when nothing matters.

    But this is, above all else, the day that Shane decides he's going to die.
