    Summary

    Kaveh laid there, in a bed that did not belong to him, in a home that should have been his, and he thought.

    Alhaitham had been distant. He left early and came home late. He skipped meals. Kaveh had been called many things in his life, but he was not an idiot. Every time Kaveh worked his way through the facts, he arrived at the same conclusion. It was not a pleasant conclusion, but it was the right one in all the ways that mattered.

    Alhaitham wanted him gone.

    - - -

    In which Kaveh realizes that the foundation beneath him is not as steady as he once thought. (Or maybe that it was stronger than he could ever imagine.)

    Summary

    Thus always to tyrants. Bad, but justified, ends always befall tyrants.

    Alhaitham grew up on the belief that the Akademiya was corrupt, as was the royalty, and Sumeru was doomed to someday fall. But Kaveh wasn't like them. Kaveh was fire burning bright, passion itself, and he was certainly not his father. He wasn't, nor ever would be, a tyrant.

    Alhaitham would make sure of it.

    “You detest me,” Alhaitham said quietly, breaking the silence. It was hard to finish with that, hard to form the words when there was so much more at hand than just how they may have felt toward each other. After all, they stood in a literal hell, the flames still flickering and smoldering out.

    The bodies still lay bloody around them.

    Kaveh stared. Not at him, but at the hill surrounding them. He took it in, everything in its brevity, and let out a slow breath. Then he turned back to Alhaitham with no light behind those ruby eyes, with all the pale coldness of a man he'd once killed. He smiled and repeated, knowing his line by heart. “I detest you the way the sun detests the moon. You cannot have one without the other, but they chase each other away all the same.”
