    Summary

    So, it's been four and a half years since Stormz last heard from Dumb, and it's been three years since Stormz's hope for him succumbed to probability assessment, and Stormz is trying very hard not to think about either of those things, because he has a fight in half an hour. He can't afford to be distracted.

    On the almost-anniversary of admitting to himself that his best friend is almost certainly dead, Stormz is scheduled for a match. The fact that his ghosts are haunting him the most they have in months surely means nothing at all.

    Summary

    The air’s heavy with the weight of everything there is to say, but his breath is stubbornly caught in his chest, throat choked with half-formed words. Above them, the moon watches on, quiet, gentle, and just judgmental enough to sink in.

    “I’m glad you came,” Dumb begins, tension giving way with a hesitant sigh.

    The words are loaded. Stormz doesn’t even think to decipher them before he replies, “Of course. What else could I have done?"

    After the worst five years of their lives, Dumb asks Stormz to talk. Ghosts lingering heavy, reconciliation won't erase history, but maybe they still have a chance at something new.

    Summary

    Something rooted deeply in his chest, almost like grief was wrapping his organs with its vines, entwined with his blood vessels. A feeling that bloomed in his chest the more he thought about it, a mixture of regret and shame that he couldn’t be up to Stormz’s expectations, a silent sense of doubt that Stormz even saw him as anything more than a tool to begin with.

    Summary

    Saps presses forward and slashes again. He hears the whole crowd scream, the sound muffled as if from underwater. The floor is wet and iron-rich and his whole head is pounding. He’s waited for this moment for longer than anyone here knows.

    He raises his axe into the air and Flux reaches a bare hand up and shouts, “Wait!”

     

    or, Flux surrenders in the colosseum. The rest of the world tries to figure out what to do with him.
