Ume: I wish I had a more eloquent explanation for you, but I don’t. I’m just an idiot who chased something that he thought he wanted only to realize that he wanted something different all along.

Tbh I feel like if your legacy followed Ume a lot more people wouldn’t give him so much hate… emotions suck people! He’s got a lot of them and he’s going through a lot in such a short amount of time!!! Same thing with Altair!!!
👏👏👏
That’s a piping hot cup of tea ☕right there, Nonnie. Most of the people who hate on him hate on him because they ship Saltair.
Ume is actually a pretty damn amazing guy. Sure, he tries too hard to be the hero, and is VERY socially awkward but he means well. Since Altair is the founder it’s easier to side with her… But let’s be honest here, she has done a lot more to warrant grief than he has.
Ume: You are enough, Aster.
Aster: [quiet] Then why? Help me to understand, Ume. Because, believe me, I have tried. I’ve tried to make sense of it all and I just can’t. The only thing it has left me with is feeling bitter and jealous… and.. wishing that you loved me with even a fraction of the reckless abandon you love her.
Ume: I’m such an idiot.
Aster: Excuse me?

Day 10: Night and Day Twins
Aster: Anyway, I should be going. The last train leaves in about 20 minutes and I don’t want to miss it. It was, uh, good seeing you.
Ume: [quiet] Yeah… you too.
Aster: Goodnight, Ume.
[long pause]
Ume: Aster, wait.
Aster: Can ask you… Nevermind. Forget it.
Ume: What is it? You can ask me anything.
Aster: [deep breath] Is she worth it?
Ume: [flinches] I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking me.
Aster: This… whole mess. Risking your career… losing us… was Altair worth it?
Ume: I-uh…
Aster: I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that. I just have been wracking my brain to why you would go through all of this trouble… why you would put so much on the line… She must be pretty amazing, right? She has to be. Otherwise… why wasn’t I enough?
Aster: It’s not like it’s unheard of. Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you intend and you have to do the best with what you’ve got.
Day 9 – Cursed!
Who is this irresistible creature
Who has an insatiable lust for the dead?
Such an interesting take on this challenge. 😍😍😍
Aster: Move on, Ume. Valerian Nova is behind bars. Take the win and walk away.
Ume: So… what is this deal then?
Aster: We’re offering him a job.
Ume: A what?!
Aster: If he really was who you are accusing him of being, that means he has connections that can be taken advantage of. They’re going to take him on as a consultant for the International Protection Services.
Ume: That’s insane!
“I crush her against me.
I want to be part of her.
Not just inside her but all around her.
I want our rib cages to crack open and our hearts to migrate and merge.
I want our cells to braid together like living thread.”
