   Summary

   Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.

   A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.

   Updates on Tuesdays.
