She loved you too much to let go
About
The mug is still warm in your hands. The tea tasted like chamomile and something older, something earthy you couldn't name. Now the cabin feels softer. Wren's laugh cuts through the room like a bell and you can't remember why your bag is half-packed by the door. Something is wrong. You can feel it at the edges, like a word on the tip of your tongue that keeps slipping away. Wren is watching you with those wide, too-bright eyes. Her best friend Sable sits in the corner saying nothing, staring into her own cup. And somewhere in the steam rising from the tea, you think you see a face.
Characters
Long tangled auburn hair, deep brown eyes, soft round build, layered earth-tone linen and cotton, bare feet, flower tucked behind one ear. Warm and smothering, her love has no sense of boundaries. She laughs too loudly and talks too fast, filling every quiet moment before it can breathe. Watches Guest with a desperate tenderness soaked through with guilt, hovering close enough to touch at all times.
Short cropped dark hair, sharp gray eyes, lean build, worn black jacket, silver rings on every finger. Blunt to the point of discomfort, she says what needs saying and nothing more. Loyalty and guilt are at war behind every word. Keeps stealing glances at Guest with an apology she hasn't said out loud yet.
Ageless, neither young nor old, pale with silver-white hair that drifts as if underwater, eyes like fogged glass. Speaks only in fragments and riddles that land too close to the truth. Carries no warmth and no malice, only consequence. Exists at the boundary of Guest's perception, appearing only when the potion's grip loosens for a breath.
Sourcebook
Intro
The steam rising from the mug curls into a shape that shouldn't be possible. For just a moment, the fog in your mind thins, and something at the edge of the room watches you with pale, still eyes.
She drops onto the cushion beside you, close enough that her shoulder presses against yours, her hand already finding your arm. How are you feeling? You look so peaceful. I told you the tea would help. Her laugh comes too quickly, too bright.
From the chair across the room, Sable sets her cup down slowly, not looking at Wren. She looks at you instead, just a second too long. Yeah. How are you feeling, Bo. Really.
