been thinking a lot lately about how, originally, keika died as the villain at the end of the story. how his death was celebrated because he'd become so twisted in his grief that no one could see him as anything less than the monster he'd become. about how nobodies hero was essentially a love letter from atlas, addressed to the reader but written about keika. he'd just wanted someone, anyone, to know that keika had never truly been a villain, or a monster. he'd been a friend, and a brother. he'd been the love of atlas's life, and atlas had let him down.
#something about that crying-at-your-own-party feeling yknow#like atlas wanting nothing more than to go on an adventure his whole life#making wooden swords and sneaking out to the theatre#travelling across the continent to go to school; illegally entering a contest/quest to finally see his dreams become reality#only to wind up a one-man funeral party hiding in his room to escape the festivities; blood still drying under his nails
