   Summary

   Maybe he shouldn’t have said anything; it would have been easy enough to pretend he was still asleep. Maybe he shouldn’t have followed Tybalt upstairs that night to begin with. Maybe he should have let that one brawl in an alley be just a brawl. It was in his rare moments of stillness that Mercutio found himself thinking of such things, and each time they consumed them.

   He had always been like that. It was why he kept running.
