Episode 4 – Edward


Come of Age

There was a rose, and then a ribbon, and Edward moved faster than he'd ever moved in his life, and

oh god he's dead I killed a man he's dead

it was just for a moment, and then the moment passed, and Clause was safe, and

he's dead the blue lady's crying and Majahal's dead

and Edward was stepping back, breathing deeply, and Clause was staring and Al didn't know what to do

not my fault the sword fell not my fault

and Edward held his brother's enormous cold hand with both of his

dead

and waited for the grown-ups.
