Iskierka has not been idle while her Sleeper is missing from Trench. Somewhere, he's wandering a hell far removed from the Waking World; somewhere, he rehearses to himself the briefing he might give to any would-be rescuers when they arrive, what is necessary to survive and sufficient for Sayo's ritual. When hoping for rescue pales on him, he dictates his thoughts to the air or an animal or a corpse's patient ear, and she hears it.

She hears every word of it, and she cannot respond; she listens faithfully, and the words fill her head to the point of forgetting. When there's no more room for them, she writes. With whatever comes to hand--beg buy borrow or steal--on whatever surface she can find, she writes--scratches out--rewrites. Notes and letters emerge beneath her pen, and she takes them where she thinks they belong. Some she abandons in significant places and others she brings to significant people, urging them to take this fragment of her lost Sleeper.


It may help, when they go to rescue him. If anyone can.

Content Warnings:

Binge drinking, angst

[ Sara's sitting out on the front steps of the house - their house. A half-empty bottle of whiskey clutched in her lap, her brows furrowed as she stares down at the concrete in front of her.

Her eyes are red and puffy, breath stuttering with emotion as she takes another swig from the bottle. Gulping the liquid down, she considers the glass a moment before flinging it to the ground, something distantly satisfying about watching the thing shatter. ]
