(ACT 4 spoilers) Wanted to share some of the art + writing I did for @pixxyofice Euphrasie looping au! Writing under the cut:

< The head housemaiden takes your hands and interlocks her fingers into yours. >

< They’re a lot rougher than you’d imagine them to be. >

< Bruised and calloused. >

< There were faint traces of a shade that you don’t seem to recognize painted on her knuckles. >

< You can’t help but stare. >

< It’s your job to notice the little details that no one else would. >

< You look up at her. >

< She smiles. >

< It’s gentle and warm. Her voice soft and soothing. >

<… But you know better. >

< Looks can be deceiving. >

< Her eyes.. look so tired. >

((“You said you’d do anything .. to figure out the truth?”))

(( “.. That you would make it your mission to find out what I was hiding.. is that right?”))

< Her hands are trembling. Euphrasie laughs trying to still her nerves. >

((“… You figured me all out didn’t you..? So why not just say what we both know to be true..”))

< Euphrasie looks expectant. >

<There’s no sense of panic or desperation at being caught for lying. >

< Resignation.>

< You’re at a loss of words. >

((“ Oh I must’ve startled you there.. deepest apologies! That’s okay. I’ll say it for you.”))

((“You caught me! I’ve been traveling in time. What a perceptive one you are.”))

< You frown.>

((“ I never lied when I said I cared about everyone here.”))

< She leans forward. Her face inches closer to yours. >

((“I’m willing to do terrible things to keep you all safe.. that’s what you said before, yes?”))

< The air smells sweet. >

((“ I just want you to know..the feeling is mutual”))

< You can feel her grip loosening. >

((“ And though you won’t remember any of this…”))

< Euphrasie frowns for the very first time since you’ve seen her. >

((“.. I just hope that one day..”))

< You hold your head. Static fills your ears. >

((“…you can learn to forgive me-“))
