   Summary

   Luigi is getting better at moving forward. ...At least, that’s what he tells himself.

   Whatever existed between Bowser and him should have been easy enough to leave behind. It had only been friendship, after all. A strange one, perhaps. One built out of books, arguments, a miniature castle and far too much time spent talking to someone who was supposed to be an enemy.

   The trouble is that Luigi has never been particularly good at recognizing what he feels while he’s still feeling it.

   By the time he finds the right word for this one, Bowser is already somewhere else.

   And soon enough, so is Luigi.
