   Summary

   (A combination of canon from the Legion TV show, with themes, ideas, and traits lifted from the comics.)

   Every day, she wakes up, she looks through the photographs, and she swallows the key.
   ~
   Every day, he feels more and more as though his world is haunted by something closer than tragedy.
   ~
   Every day, they feel as if someone else's footsteps have echoed after their own.
   ~
   And one day, the doors all start to fall down.

   A deviation from season 2 canon, where David's DID and neurodivergence have a more prominent role and his relationships with the people are around him are a lot more complicated as a result. Plot? Why yes, eventually.
