1. sharp teeth, fluttering hands, heart of a dying star— icarus himself could not imagine the heights you have climbed or your glorious, blazing fall. your bones are burning, your bones are ash, scattered across this never-place between life and death and eternal limbo.
2. you're permanently damaged, but it's fine, you're fine. you can always expect a myriad of scars to accompany the trauma. it's not like it's anything new, either. at least if you burn you might be able to take this unkind world down with you.
3. the inferno surrounding you dances with deadly beauty. and as we all know, beautiful things are lethal.
4. you understand you are a liability?
5. you don't want to go back to that dark place in your mind again. it would be better to be mere cinders.
