Even I am beginning to develop a complex at the amount of times Matilda leaves Vincent.

And the idea of Vincent dying of old age one day while Matilda lives on breaks my heart.

“We were doomed, she and I. One day, I would perish, and she would live on, endless as the stars. But if we were doomed, then let us fully embrace it.” 🖤✨

“I had never desired to be a god, to wield power as one, but in that moment, I longed to halt time. I would have made an interlude for us, a space when the hour lost its bite and the sun stood still. We could simply breathe and let ourselves unravel this knot between us, slowly.”

“If it takes you,” I said, “then let it also take me. Don’t leave me behind like this, Red.”

“If you take her soul now, I will gladly let a divine strike me down when she breathes her last.”

Bade. The man that you are 🖤
