Quiet, darkness. There had been no dreams as the aquatic hybrid slept. His body slowly recuperating and drawing in energy. There was no need for dreams here, just emptiness. But soon he began to stir, his eyes slowly opening up to the world around him. Groggy was the first thing he felt, a thick layer of strain on his muscles as he attempted to move. Soreness, body bandaged and constricted as he looked at the wall that was closest to him. Where was he? A name laid on the tip of his tongue and his memories like shifting sands tried to pull it forth but to little avail. Swallowing thickly his tongue felt like glue against the roof of his mouth but he forced himself to sit up. Fins curled against his shape and he pushed further despite his haggard body to go outside. The sun was shining brightly and there was a thick layer of snow all over the ground.
It was beautiful in it's own way, serene. Like a lie. He blinked slowly his bright colored orbs and allowed his gaze to roam over the boardwalk that he could see. There he saw it, the ocean and it was like everything came crashing back down on him. The witches, his mother, her cry to be let go. For him to run. Pain eclipsed him and his body shook as he faltered. "Why...." He slowly sunk to the wooden ground and grabbed at his own muzzle as he tried to keep tears from dripping from his eyes. "You fucking coward. You- you ran! You should have done something but you ran and now.... now she's gone." It was truly all his fault and he knew it. He knew it was. He felt his claws digging into his snout but he didn't care. He deserved the pain after all and now he had even saved. To face his guilt that he let his mother die.

How, how much to light up my star again and rewire all my thoughts? Oh baby, won't you remind me what I am? And break, break my little cold heart. I'm living someone else's life. Suppressing who I was inside. I don't know if I can be alone again. I don't know if I can sleep alone again.
