I won't be there when you wake up
I'm sorry you found out this way
But I'm leaving you, leaving Vale
What I've caused… how could I stay?
...
My past sticks to me like a shadow
Always lurking, staying close
But it can't always be seen
And it strikes when I'm alone
...
That shadow has a name
A name I will not speak
For he hunts those I love
And naming him leaves things bleak
...
I know, they already are
But things can always be worse
Especially when a taboo word is said
And the result of it is a curse
...
Ruby, please understand
There's nothing you could've done
I had no choice; I had to leave
I can't be near those that I love
...
He is a danger to you all
And he has horrible things planned
He wants to make my friends suffer
That's why Yang lost a hand
...
Maybe one day I'll return
But that day won't come soon
For now I watch from shadows
And on your own you can bloom
...
I wish I could explain this better
There's so much more to say
But I've taken away enough of your sunshine
And beasts are banished from day
...
But don't fret over me, Ruby
I am a plague to you, I always knew
And I've become an expert at hiding
For I am a criminal in plain view
...

Next is our favorite snarky sociopath, Mercury!
TheShadowOfZama: I'm super excited to write Mercury! Adam will probably be a bit more difficult, since I am rather inexperienced in writing him, but I will try my best!
Nemasis Demarini: Haha thank you again! Everyone from my main fic knows my name now since I shamelessly advertise my other work, so it's no big. And thank you for that lovely little poem! It made me smile :D
I'm sorry to say Wilted won't be updated this week due to my finals. I thought I could get the chapter done over the weekend but alas ;(
Also, can I say if Qrow dies, I SWEAR IMMA FIGHT SOMEO- jk jk I'm just gonna cry because I have noodle arms and can't fight for shit tbh DX
Anyways, happy writing to all, and Lonessa out!
