This one is darker, apologies :’) but what if. Elias did manage to come through into the new reality with jon and martin, only he implanted jon with false memories, making jon think it was him instead of martin who had been with jon this entire time. It starts off as a scheme but maybe he starts to lose himself in the fantasy…
[ID: a colored picture of jon and elias from the magnus archives. Jon is a think Indian man with dark skin and short black hair. He has glasses and a slight beard and scars on his face and hands. He is wearing a green sweater with a white undershirt and brown slacks with brown boots. Elias is a taller thin white man with short neatly combed black hair. He is wearing a salmon colored button up with grey slacks and black shoes. Jon and elias are walking hand in hand, with elias smiling down at jon who’s eyes are closed contentedly. Elias’s eyes are obscured in shadow. Behind them are several blue eye shapes that contain scenes of false memories, all drawn in a blueish hue: In one jon is leaning his face close to Elias’s, who’s face is flushed and is crying. Jon’s hair is longer here and he is saying “Elias, look at me…”. In another elias is smiling forward and holding a mug of tea and wearing a sweater. In another elias is smiling with the top half of his face obscured. He is saying “I’m sure I love you.” He is wearing a jacket and has a backpack. In another elias is crying with a flushed face, wearing a sweater. Above all of this is text in dark blue that reads “Wherever you go” and then below that in red “I go.”]
