she was alone. indra's features fell -- tadec too, had left them.
merrick's words -- words so often repeated by her well before she had ever brought him into this world -- rose in a quivering chorus in her mind: everyone leaves.
a sigh, long held in and shakily exhaled, fled from her body -- but she stiffened as stigmata spoke her name; it brought a flicker of rage to the surface of her gaze to hear him utter it, and the question that came next seemed laced not in concern but in crocodilian contempt.
she shifted, pulling away from him - from hurt. "you don't abandon family." she replied stiffly, feeling her fur ripple as she pulled her gaze from the basilisk. no matter what, indra would always try to hold the thin cords of her family together -- and despite their unraveling ways, would never let go of that mantra.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
