characters that breathe

this is a page for all my shrines. officially, these are original characters. unofficially… they are people who left fingerprints on me. some are imagined. some are remembered. none of them are named the way you’d recognize.

Aster
the one who disappears mid-sentence

speaks softly like every word costs something. leaves rooms quietly but never without echo. knows more about me than they pretend not to.

i still look for their name in places it will never appear.
Rowan
sunlight with sharp edges

laughs like nothing has ever hurt them. pretends to be simple. isn’t. made me believe in warmth again.

i learned how to want better by watching them exist.
Nyx
midnight in human form

knows the exact right things to say and chooses silence instead. always looking like they’re about to leave.

don’t read this
they never stayed. i never asked them to. i still hoped.
