[ the flowers that speak for daan made roland pause for just a moment. luckily for the doctor, the abnormality that's taken over roland is far from powerful compared to how it's usually dealt with. or maybe roland's making a conscious effort to hear a fellow widower back?

who knows. ]

The story... isn't done. I've got a long list...

[ "the shadow of a shell laughed. how pathetic must i have been that even an empty being would mock me." "i have nothing left to protect, nothing left at my side… i have nothing." ]

I thought... that you'd understand me. You wanted to destroy everything to see her again too. Just to make her love you back.

[ "Why should I begrudge it, since during the hours
when my soul crushed the depths of my heart,
it was seated there beside me?"

parts of the poem echoes throughout the garden like choir as roland lunges forward to attack daan head-on. can't risk letting the doctor come out of here alive. ]
