Summary
“Talk to me.” Fragmented words, broken by a deep rasp and cracks every syllable, but just audible enough for him to feel everything… shift. Just for a moment his request permeated the air between them, calming the voices taunting him until he can only hear her, his wife, his love, Eurydice.
“...Talk to you? I have, love. But you don’t believe me...” ‘He never does’, he felt the winds whisper to him. He swallowed back a wave of bile that washed over him, flashes of failure, failure, he always fails her how could he do this-
“Not- not telling me you’re here. But just… anything else. Please, anything. I can’t- everything feels wrong, not real, Eurydice...” ‘Anything to reassure me you’re not just a crude mimicry sent by Hades to mess with me’ was what went unsaid.

They've lived this tale over and over again. No matter how many times it ends this way, they continue to sing the same songs anyway; hoping, praying that one day, things will change. That one day, Orpheus won't turn around. Again and again, he failed. He refuses to fail again.
