    Summary

    Cal pulls back and touches his face, feels Bode’s cheek flex with a muscle in his jaw. There’s no warmth under his fingertips— he feels something solid there, but it’s not what he should feel like, lacking somehow, it’s not—

    “You’re not real,” he cries.

    “I’m not alive,” the hallucination corrects him, as if that’s not the same damn thing. The sky above them is nearly black with how many stars have gone out, only the deepest blood red hue of the nebula remaining. Bode’s glow looks so much brighter like this— brighter than an echo. “There’s a difference. You know that.”
