> image above reads:

> In the dream they were sitting on the beach. he had made fire from damp driftwood. the smoke made a black mark where it touched the taurpaulin, at the top, where it was stretched over their heads. the ash was still falling. It made them sick, but only ever for a little while. anything that hurt them only hurt for a little while

> In the dream, she sat next to the bundle of meat he’s cut, thighs mostly, for when they felt hungry, which happened rarely and always simultaneously. when it did happen they would be side by side, eating until their stomachs were sore. they would drink from the sea like dogs.

ok so im losing my mind about the entire exerpt but this part stood out specifically. this is harrow’s dream, john’s dream, john’s memory – and in it, harrow is taking the place of alecto. and specifically, i noticed this: they (john and alecto) can get hurt, BUT only for a little while. they get better. they arent often hungry, but when they are, it’s at the same time. this is the first lyctorhood. im convinced that at this point, the world has ended, and everyone else is dead. they’re alive because did something before or as the world ended, and now they’re linked together forever and paying the price.
