[SWE] The Festival of Lights

I've been smoked out of heaven

I won't go down easy

Some people aren’t meant to have a lot of others, and I’ve accepted that I’m one of those people. I value my independence, my privacy - in fact, it turns out my privacy is going to be necessary now, so - I shrug. “Or maybe I’m just glad all the good ‘uns are still alive, yeah?” The good crew of the Ark, perhaps? The new people I've met. Mik. My regulars have been remarkably responsible, which makes me think next year will be a doozy, because that's just how things tend to roll. You don’t have to mourn every year. Fuck, that would be exhausting. Offering the bottle to Saiden again, I let him drink if he wants before continuing my wander down the beach with an eye for all kinds of admiration - lantern and person alike.

may not be brave, but I'm stubborn as hell
