  Summary

  Jon did not wake up. After all, there was nothing for him to wake up from. This entire time, even in sleep, even in death, he had remained awake. Eyes always open. Always Watching. Always Seeing.
  But there was nothing left for him to See now.
  And so.
  Jon dreamt.

  Heavily recommend listening to Red Memory from the Silksong OST while reading this. Official album version works just fine, but in-game ambience (later stages, preferably) has the added bonus of a heartbeat sound in the background. Do with that whatever you wish
