Avery stared into the sanctum’s fading glow. The candles flickered low. Riley’s head rested on his chest, warm and silent.
He swallowed, voice rough. “Why me?”
Riley sighed, a soft exhale that ghosted over his chest. “Because you still wanted to know. Even after all they did to you. That’s enough.”
The words landed gently, but the truth beneath them hit like a stone in deep water. His mind flashed—his sketches reduced to ash in the fireplace, his mother turning away, the years he’d spent pretending want was just a weakness.
Riley traced her finger along the scar on his forearm, the one he rarely let anyone see. “You thought shame made you small,” she said. “But it only made you hungry.”
He blinked. The mural above them shimmered slightly. In its center, a woman knelt before a figure made of starlight, hands outstretched, her body half-translucent. It looked like Riley. Or someone who had been her.
She stood without a word, helping him rise. The chamber didn’t shake this time. No pulse. Only the crackle of dying candles. She led him back to the surface—up the spiral stairs, past the carousel’s sleeping horses—to the Tunnel of Love.
The water shimmered, still glowing, but softer now. They stepped into a boat that hadn’t been there before. It drifted on its own.
They floated in silence.
Riley leaned into him. Her fingers, for the first time, trembled against his skin. “Lunara’s shrine isn’t just a place,” she whispered. “It’s a hunger. A mirror.”
He wanted to ask what that meant, but her lips brushed his neck—tender, almost sad.
The boat carried them through shadows and shimmer, the tunnel walls pulsing like a living throat. Reflections danced on the water—echoes of what they had done, what they might still become.
“She sees you,” Riley said, softer now, as if the words were not meant only for him.
The mist thickened as they neared the exit. Riley pressed something into his palm. A jar. Inside, a firefly glowed—brighter than the others, its light pulsing slow and steady like a heartbeat.
“She left you this,” Riley said. “A piece of her.”
He met her eyes. For the first time, they looked ... tired. Human.
“Will I see you again?”
Riley smiled. But this smile didn’t warm him. It chilled him. “You already have.”
The boat stopped. The park waited. The sky was turning gray with morning.
Avery stepped onto the bank, firefly in hand, heart full of color and ache. When he turned to look back—
Riley was gone.
Only the mist remained.
Avery stepped beyond the rusted gates, jar in hand, the firefly’s glow throbbing in his palm like a captured heartbeat. Morning light fractured through the trees in silvery slants, but the forest didn’t look the same.
The trail was gone.
Where he’d entered—footsteps, brambles, the shape of the clearing—there was only wild growth. Vines twisted across the underbrush, thick as wrists, pulsing faintly with the same rhythm as the jar.
He turned slowly. The park behind him hadn’t faded. If anything, it gleamed brighter now in the dawn—the carousel glinting with dew, the Tunnel of Love casting long iridescent shadows. But empty. Silent.
Riley was nowhere.
