    Summary

    Urged forward by his determination to prevent a cruel and unfair end for one Lea Florence Monad and those she holds dear, the Tracker arrives at the Rose Estate immediately following the Blood Artist’s demise, rescuing both mentor and apprentice from the steadily encroaching doom that would’ve sought them out otherwise, long before it can arrive to claim them in its talons.

    From there, the Tracker hides Lea and Romeo away from the world as it begins to fall apart around them in earnest, giving them the time they need to recover from their respective injuries, heal a number of not so physical wounds too, and eventually readjust to a Krat that will be utterly unfamiliar to what they remember.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And yet seeing her apprentice in the flesh again (or some real-but-not real approximation of him, at least) Lea could palpably identify how different the two of them had actually been. They had the same face, but starkly different eyes; warm earthen soil versus cool limpid sapphire.

    But that wasn't even the main difference, not to Lea. No, the main difference was found in that of their expressions; the same face but two entirely different dispositions, and that was enough to make the deviations between them almost astronomical in Lea’s eyes.

    The kind stranger had been a soft spoken, passive sort. He showed emotion more through action than through words or anything he would conspicuously show on his face. But that wasn't to say that he didn't emote at all, far from it.

    The looks he had revealed to Lea were small and delicate things; wispy smiles and tender glances. They were discreet and soft little moments in time, as unobtrusive and benign as the snowflakes that had drifted diffidently from the sky.

    Carlo had not been like that. While the stranger might’ve been like snow, Carlo was like hail.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Do you want to lead?” P asks, suddenly feeling shy as he looks up at Romeo from beneath his lashes. Venigni had taught him how, but he wants to offer the role to Romeo first. Mainly because — “You’re taller.”

    Romeo’s bitten-off laugh sounds a touch hysterical, but he nods again and offers P his hand nonetheless.

    Summary

    Hidden mostly by the curtains but becoming much more obvious, a creature was climbing in the window. Long, spindly moon bleached limbs crawled into the room, a gauzy fluttering mass shifting on its back as the multiple pairs of wings and cobwebs and moonshadow rolled into one settled and folded...

    Summary

    “Hey pal, what are you staring at? Shouldn’t we get a move on?” Gemini chirped from the lantern, bringing P out of his thoughts. He smoothed out the missing person poster in his hands, analyzing the familiar face that had meant the world to someone else.
    “Your hair is getting long.” Carlo’s fingers ran through the golden strands, amazed at the softness.
    “Should I cut it?” Romeo’s voice was muffled by Carlo’s chest, his arms wrapped tight around the boy.

    While exploring the past, P uncovers more memories of Carlo's life and tries to change the future in their aftermath.
