Prologue
Sunken eyes followed the pathway leading up to the gargoyle.
They rest on the grayed stone statue as fingers unconsciously twitch around the curled page corners. The sight of the weathered building swims in vision, or maybe it was the effects of the nearby lit marshalls. There was no way to know.
Because there is no guarantee.
There is no guarantee whatsoever … about this place. About this supposed reality. About what they couldn't bring themselves to admit already, and about what that had already transpired. Images jump in hindsight. Some fractured - some jagged around a wrong jigsaw in a puzzle piece, some forgotten that could not explain the complexities of the past, and the others —
They could not be willed enough to remember.
But yet…
The legs stayed firmly rooted on the spot. As though the body knows where to get the answers from. Eyes track the short distance to be covered wearily as the body jerks once more, as though aware that the long journey it had taken had long reached its home.
Though, it'd be the second one this time around.
