    Summary

    The heels of his leather shoes tapped against the hardwood floor with wariness. Being careful and collected wasn’t much like him – not much like the version of him that he built himself to be, anyway, but he had accepted that he had lost the battle; he would never get back to being “a big shot”, he would never get back to his prime and he couldn’t even live the prestige of inhabiting someone’s loving memories. Tenna doesn’t remember him. His forever partner doesn’t remember him and it caves a hollow feeling in his chest in a way that, back when he felt the high of being at the top of the world, he swore he wouldn’t feel again. But there it was.
    So when he escaped and decided to walk aimlessly through the empty backrooms of this enormous studio, he set himself on the search for something unattainable. He wants to see him again, he wants to hear his voice again even if that’s the last thing he listens to before turning to stone. Even if this last thing is him being reminded once again of how irrelevant he has become.
    Somewhere else, Kris taps their pocket and doesn’t feel the outline of a pair of glasses anymore.
