Summary

Seven years after Vox finally escapes, Alastor returns like a signal breaking through dead air, and Vox discovers the hardest part about leaving is realizing you never really stopped listening.Vox becomes obsessed with Alastor the moment they meet, and it turns pathological fast, until Vox spirals into self-harm and Alastor answers his vulnerability with cruelty, calling him disgusting and tightening the control. Vox finally leaves, but spends seven years haunted by the “dead air” Alastor left behind. When Alastor returns, Vox is forced to relive the craving and the damage, and decide if this is closure or a repeat.
OR Seven years after Vox leaves, Alastor comes back, and the signal picks up right where it died.
