Summary
Shane can look back now and see whole years lit up with significance he’d missed the first time, every hesitation made obvious by hindsight, every joke carrying a bruise beneath it, every ordinary morning suddenly ripe with meaning because it’d been ordinary and he hadn’t known to kneel before it. He can know all of it now. He can know too late so well it feels almost like a prophecy, but in reverse.
It changes fuck all. Ilya’s still dead.
Shane is alone, now.
Or: the first year without Ilya.
