i wrote this after not sleeping for 24+ hours so i honestly dont remember writing half of it
***
1. The crack opens under their feet when Sanae trips for a second time, the accusation landing faster than Natsuo’s fist. It’s a simple order (raw and impulsive, clogged blood at last spat out).
They’ll think back to that simple order, how it throws both of them of balance, and realize that that’s how the veil of tension starts to unravel; frayed wires cackling with static as they fall undone like a fortress of cards, one and then two and then all, and then they’re trapped.
2. Except they’ve been trapped from the start. It’s not a veil, it’s a bridge. It’s rattled, almost a ruin, and yes it’s black but for all it is, it could never quite burn. Now there was a fissure and they both tripped on it. It’s now got them by the heel. It was always there.
3. Natsuo wants to take a jab at how Sanae’s let her grasp on her control slip— She could easily gain the figurative upper hand again, but when she calls her out it comes out only one third mocking & two thirds defensive;
The fist on the ground besides Sanae’s face shakes. All cards are now on the table. They’re playing attorneys of the past.
4. “It was him, wasn’t he?”, she says, voice shaking with effort — the effort of mentioning a worthless man who’s pushed someone so far down a worthless path. “was it worth it? has it been worth it?”
“you should’ve lost”, she blames back, water and fire a single note chasing after a pentagram if emotion’s ups & downs. There’s a ‘then’ and a ‘we’ that rest heavy in the back of her head, almost dripping down to her tongue, but she’d sooner swallow it and choke than even consider yielding them out-loud.
“You’ve lost more than you’ve won”, Sanae growls, like her hand isn’t gripping a bony wrist with desperate strength.
5. Sanae is betting on this accidental chance. She’s ready to win this dare even if she loses the war,
though she knows that there’s only losers in the battlefield.
6. Sanae doesn’t know the whole story; Natsuo reminds her as much.
She just happens to know enough.
She knows of someone who broke and didn’t care to rebuild himself. She knows of someone who was broken and put herself back together in odd angles and crooked shapes. She speaks of someone who still doesn’t know how to care, because she never learned, because she tried to learn from the wrong places, and who does she think she is?
“You think too highly of yourself. I might be the black, but you’re not the white.”
7. Natsuo is sure that there’s a bit of her in Sanae, a bit of Natsuo that Sanae keeps alive inside her. Just a bit, but for all it’s small it’s well-placed, the black in her eye that makes her stray off her path, and it
has the power to taint her—
(No. It definitely has. She carries herself like regret’s never weighted down her step, after all.)
8. Natsuo has a smile like a howl, is a girl that’s all bite. Natsuo doesn’t know how to feel bad about what she’s done and Sanae doesn’t know how to feel regret.
They don’t know of those, but they still expect the other to (know). They look for it with acute words that dig at the same old wounds, they look for it following unknown leads, in the wrong places.
9. It’s the price of ignorance. The wound hurts but they were made to endure pain; They know of patching themselves up, standing back up, “if it hurts it’s healing”, they don’t know of letting something bleed. The skin grows thicker but sometimes it still stings, memories hide behind ghost pains, if they were made to endure pain where did the flood come from?
10. The water under the bridge runs deeper than it looks, a hand on a wrist shakes like the fist underneath, it’d be easier to dislodge from an avalanche than dislodge from this. the bridge shakes, the smell of a sea can be tasted in the air and no one knows which dam broke first.
the bridge remains.
So,
does cowardice run in the family?
