Title: missing
On the first Monday in July, Jane told me I was needed in the throne room. I was never needed anywhere except reception, so I knew what she meant. I set the keys where my replacement could find them. I didn't beg. If it would've helped, I'd have licked Aro's feet raw, but I'd seen enough people on their knees to know it accomplished nothing. Might as well lick a stone.
Grandfather wasted his savings on a depressingly formal memorial for me at the Basilica of San Giusto that November. He'd burned through 906 votives before he'd given up hope.
