cry little sister (narrative)
Something was wrong.
River sat in her apartment, eyebrows furrowed, feeling... lost. Something was missing, something important.
After the wish, after the masquerade, River had felt somewhat strange. She didn't remember much of her actual wish. She knew she'd seen Simon, but she couldn't remember the details.
Like they hadn't mattered.
And she had not seen Simon since.
Then, all at once, she knew what was really wrong. And she began to cry, quietly at first, then louder and into sobs.
There were people and entities she would overhear, routinely. People she was close to, without really meaning to. Lestat. Hannibal. The Ballet Master. Simon. She could feel them, knew they were there, or working, or nearby. One was missing--not hurt, not shutting her out, just... missing.
River covered her mouth with her hand. She had really gotten that wish, after all, hadn't she?
"You're gone."
Then, all at once, the crying stopped. He'd be better off without her, even if she was sad. Simon could have a real life without ever having to worry about her.
River smiled.
