    “Because what?”

    Summary

    "What is this place?"

    "It's our place. It's called the Flowerbed. It's where every Ash and every Eiji from every world comes to after they die. The universe is kind like that."

    The universe is kind, huh. Now this Ash had to hear.

    "Kind how?"

    "It puts soulmates together in the Afterlife."

    Summary

    Doesn't matter
    That they don't think
    You're amazing
    'Cause I do
    You're not breaking
    You just keep on
    Hesitating
    Why don't you
    Take a step back
    Check the reasons
    While you're waiting
    Think it through
    Pick yourself up
    This is still yours for the taking

    — Fox Stevenson, For The Taking

    Summary

    “Hello.”

    His voice is pleasant, pitched in a way that lays soft on Aslan’s ears. He has fluffy black hair that creeps out beneath his winter hat and flips up around his neck; Aslan traces the curls with his eyes.

    He’s still warming up to these people, still unsure what his place is among them. He manages to say hello back, though, earning a genuine grin from the boy with the bird backpack. Eiji.

    Growing up together in shy stutters. It takes a village.
