Will Your Love Reach My Horizon, Even If I'm A Starless Void, Devouring On Shadows And Silhouettes, Slipping

⤹ 🍭⠀ ˖  ݁ . こ ִֶָ

For long so long, I wanted my silhouette to be on a canvas, with curated hues and forms. I wanted to be photographed in black and white, in polaroids, and framed. For long so long I wanted to be defined, written not in riddles but a prose with footnotes, for long so long I needed adjectives beside my name. For long so long I wanted to be not of flesh but a mirage the world demanded. For long so long I wanted to be understood and not read like a coffee table book. For long so long I wanted to be seen, heard and not be the flowers adorning a room. But now honey, I want to be mundane, I want to be flesh and bone, a living thing with a soul.....................

— Edna St. Vincent Millay, Song of a Second April

Ok I’m actually kinda emotionally wrecked over chapter 123. The cat was her last shred of comfort and companionship and she cut it, because she put its happiness before her own, acting selflessly, and put her trust in another human. And all of it was ripped away from her so cruelly. Her mom died so she could save that cat, but at least she saved the cat, and now everyone’s dead. She made the mistake to trust and now she’s alone.

The more we see of her the more I think we can understand why Yuko was so important to Asa.
