Work Text:
Standing nowhere, something is missing, someone is gone.
They knew you very well, though you have no memory of it.
Someone loved you very much.
Leaves fell from above.
Kris watched the leaves fall. They fell and fell, but nothing changed. The tree was the same. Kris was the same.
Kris extended a hand.
And nothing.
Somehow all the leaves missed you.
…
Kris stared at the leaves on the floor. They would pick one up, but their arms can’t reach.
…
Kris stood in front of the barren tree, there was nothing more to be done.
…
Kris turned to walk back to the place they never left, and as they did they wiped away the tears they didn’t cry.
