Phoenix Maplewood every tree a memory

It was official, Aliac was pregnant and new memories were being made. His life was starting anew in the shape of unborn pups, his kids, he would be a dad. It was this reason that he made his way to the Maplewood that day, to see if Desdemona still remained and if so to tell her the news. He also wanted to say goodbye to the memories that still weighed on his heart, he needed one last trip into the sadness to be able to let go.

He could tell Desdemona was no longer around because the borders were no longer there at all, he could catch such a tiny whiff of scent that he could have been imagining it. So he walked where they would have been and then delved further inside, walking through the old home and remembering every sad moment that had transpired. He was quite coincidentally remembering his promise to help Aditiya in Dawn's absence when he glanced around and spotted the male. It took him a moment to confirm that this wasnt a trick of his mind and that the man was really there. 


He stayed silent. At first he felt nothing, he just stared and waited to be noticed. Then there was so much emotion, so much confusion and anger and hurt and relief. He held his tongue, he sucked in deep breaths and released them slowly. Then he spoke, his voice eerily quiet "Everyone left long ago. I tried to keep us together but it seemed everyone knew before I did that Morningside was over" he wasn't sure why he was saying this when he should have been yelling. He should have been yelling right? For so long he had wanted nothing but to yell and blame Aditya for causing the downfall of Morningside but he remembered what Dawn said, how it had been failing for so long and felt no more anger toward the man. He simply wished it had happened differently.
