congrats! <3

it was a question mahler first did not understand, then comprehended and felt awash with a joyless pity. to be so young, and even as affected as astraeus' life had been, to still believe that love could be made. or perhaps he had not gathered the proper meaning, mahler himself. he was aloof, turned to a reticent pillar.
"du kannst nicht." a directness, a truth which yearned to be spoken aloud. "du kannst dich nur glücklich machen." whatever it was, mahler wished that he could be the one to grant it to astraeus.
