    Summary

    “Huh… I had a feeling it was your first go at origami, but I didn’t think you'd know about that legend,” Ruggie remarked, genuinely surprised, as he momentarily paused from what he was doing. “I read about it when I was younger, too. Really believed it as well, ‘specially since it seemed more possible than the other legends out there.”

    He then laughed ruefully, shaking his head. “I was real foolish.”

    It was Kalim’s turn to stop folding this time. He looked up at his gray-eyed companion, not missing the way a hint of sadness flashed across the boy’s face ever so subtly. There seemed to be a deeper story behind his words…

    “—Come on. You weren’t foolish,” Kalim then said softly, his voice saccharine and gentle. “Believing in something hopeful isn’t foolish at all. It’s what keeps us going sometimes, you know?”

    “Can ya really still say that if I say my wish was a futile one, Kalim-kun?”

    In which two unfulfilled wishes remain unsung amidst a thousand paper cranes.
    (But perhaps all will be alright in spite of that.)

    Summary

    “I've been kidnapped more times than I can count on my hands, starting since I was a kid. It doesn't surprise me most of the time.”

    Kalim never wanted to remember what had actually happened. He hated misery, and hated feeling sad, so he never wanted to remember. Kalim didn't want to think about knives pressed into his skin or the burns that scarred his back in one long mark. He doesn't wonder where he got the scars that decorated his stomach and legs from--ugly, jagged things which made him want to throw up when he looked at them. But he doesn't even remember where he got them from.

     

    He traces his fingers over the uneven edges of his scars sometimes, nausea building in his stomach and the sudden feel of metal against his skin making him startle--but there was no one there.

     

    (There never was).

    ---------------------

    OR, Kalim sort of comes to terms with the fact he has trauma.

    Summary

    The Too Late AU, in which every overblot resulted in the death of the overblotter instead of just injury.

    Jamil passes away during his overblot, and the guilt weighs heavily on Kalim. The others left must pick up the pieces of the dorm and process what has happened. Time will move on, even if they don't want it to.
