warning for past possession and character death


I

It's a meteor shower.

Beneath the sparkling lights, Koh caresses Sayo's hair and describes them. She squints in their general direction. She will never be able to see but she tickles his palm with her tongue and it's hilarious.

He leans on her and she into him and for a moment everything is all right.

But it's lonely. In the peaceful meadow, nothing is necessary.

"What do you want to do?"

One of them asks. The second answers. "Freedom."

"You can't do freedom, Sayo."

She laughed, a hoarse sound that she may have never made before. "You don't own me, Koh."

"Do you want me to?"

"Hell no."

This is their moment of peace. They enjoy it while they can. The next morning, they move away. Because safety doesn't last forever. But they just might.
