   Summary

   Columbina couldn’t help but fixate on the broken doll that had been in her own arms only minutes ago.

   How could she possibly fathom thinking of a future, a world that continued to live and breathe, when Sandrone could not? When this might be the final moment she ever laid her eyes on the one who inspired her to open them in the first place? 

   In which Columbina mourns a love that never lived and a doll never to wake. But if Sandrone gave it her all to change fate, doesn't she owe it to her to try?
