Penelope shuddered with the force of keeping her body still. Far and removed from the tremble of Cian's shoulders, of his cracking voice.
[break][break]
Instead, she focused on her words - the one place comfort might be founded.
[break][break]
"Cian stop," she pleaded, eyes wide with pools of guilt. They mourned for the loss of his heart. "You're more than enough. So much more. It's me - I'm the one that's fucked."
[break][break]
Riddled with ENVY, HATRED, GRUDGE - before anything else, Penelope felt the ruination deep inside the marrow of her bones. She felt broken. An unfixable mess with no hopes of every cleaning up. Cian was only one of the many victims to this change.
[break][break]
"Please believe me when I say I love you so much and I'm so fucking sorry I hurt you."
[break][break]
If she could turn back time, she would.

uneasy sobs echo in the hollow remains of what was once their home. he sniffs, fruitlessly wiping at tears before quieting down enough to not sound like a fucked up mess.[break][break]

her words are barely registered let alone processed but he does let one of his biggest insecurities slip. it comes off soft, weak, as though it's the first time he's ever shared this part of himself.[break][break]

"if i was enough then why do people keep cheating on me?"[break][break]

ding![break][break]

the timer on the oven, much like their relationship, has run its course.

Fuck.
[Break][break]
Heartbreak melds into an absolute shattering. Not only had she ruined their relationship, she'd tarnished whatever trust he had left.
[Break][break]
"...i'm not very good at relationships, penny. i guess that's my curse."
[Break][break]
Back then, in midst of the crystablooms and the balmy breeze of Petalburg forest, nearly one year ago, he had shared that bitter piece of his past.
[Break][break]
"You're not cursed," she remembered telling him.[Break][break]

How cruel of her.
[Break][break]
"It's not your fault."
[Break][break]
It was hers.

eventually, the sobbing subsides enough to nothing more than mere sniffles. he shakes his head.[break][break]

"no, it's mine."[break][break]

then, a chuckle escapes him, one mangled and pained. the look he gives her when he finally looks up to meet her gaze is the same.[break][break]

"i told you i was cursed."

Penelope's heart couldn't stop shattering.
[break][break]

"Cian, you're not cursed," she tried saying, but it was no use. What was the point of words when actions spoke otherwise?
[break][break]

Suddenly, with a force she couldn't quite control, her hand lurched outward, only to freeze mid-flight. There, in between them, it hung, clueless and stupid. She recalled it back to her chest a second after.
[break][break]

"I should go."
[break][break]

There was nothing left for her here.

"no."[break][break]

it's instinctual, reactionary, and he can't stop from spiraling once more.[break][break]

"nonononononono please don't leave me please penny—"[break][break]

but when he turns to look at her, to plead and beg even more, there's a split second where he doesn't recognize her anymore.[break][break]

"—i don't know what to do. i love you, i love you so much. please."

"—I don't know what to do."
[Break][break]
It was there, in that hollow carcass of what might've one day been her home, Penelope realized the very thing that drew them apart.
[Break][break]
It wasn't MATIAS SILPH or their expeditions to the borders.
[Break][break]
It wasn't even the foundational lie he had spun to her since the very beginning.
[Break][break]
What drove a wedge between them were those exact words.
[Break][break]
"I don't know what to do."
[Break][break]
For a second she stopped, amber eyes peering back down at him. Guilt still lingered within them, washed-out as it may be. But whatever change he saw within her had now consumed all else.
[Break][break]
This wasn't the PENELOPE LIVY that had promised her future to him, nor the one who first accepted the appointment to councilwoman.
[Break][break]
This was the woman who'd been reborn through the ashes of her own raw, melted skin. The woman who'd seen hell and risen back from it. The woman who looked to devour herself if it meant succeeding in her one, all-consuming goal.
[Break][break]
"I love you too, Cian. But I can't."
[Break][break]
Only those foolish enough to dance within the torrents of fire could understand the desire to be burnt by it; to come out hardened by its glory.
[Break][break]
It's with one last look over her shoulders that she left that hollow apartment and never returned.
