Summary:

When Tryllin is caught in the maw of a Fool Eater, he loses memory of his own death. Troupe Master Grimm, his partner, is one of few who can perceive Essence ghosts, and has to grapple with the untimely death of his beloved.

Notes:

This is my first fic so PLEASE be SO nice to me I will cry if you send hate comments
