*they're not sure where else they want to go, though...*

*well...*

*it's been a long time since love's tried being nowhere. maybe he can try that again*

*observing wasn't so bad before*

– 🖤

...

*love hasn't moved at all. he's just lying on the ground, staring up at the sky, still half-covered in that black gunk*

*they've been contemplating this new[?] situation they've found themself in. a lot of things didn't happen, but they also... did. it's confusing... love doesn't know what to think of it anymore*

*well... he knows that he doesn't want to lay on the ground for forever*

*a journal doesn't sit anywhere. it has nowhere to be. it has no one who wants to see it. and yet, you can't seem to bring yourself to destroy it*

*what is this now except for a reminder of a life that has been long past gone? what exists in these pages is irrelevant now. a tale of people who did not exist and did not know you, and you did not know them. and yet, who are they that you still insist to grieve over?*

[bleeding-black-heart]

*as tears start to trail their way down love's face again, love gently shuts the cover of the old log book. he sets it back down on the floor, just sort of idly staring at it, unsure of what to do about it*

*eventually, though, they apparently come to a decision as the log book disappears off into a wisp of smoke*

– 🖤

*love hesitates before reaching out to pick up the journal again. he knows what it is, or rather, what it used to be, but he still opens to read it over anyway*

*stained pages, old log dates, and foggy memories are all that await them*

[bleeding-black-heart]

*he reluctantly turns his gaze away from the plant, apparently deciding not to bother with it. instead, they find themself staring at that journal again*

...

..am i meant to... do something with it...?

[bleeding-black-heart]

thags a planr

looks like it....

*love tilts love's head to the side, momentarily distracted from love's previous thoughts by the odd sprout*

why is it so.. red...?

– 🖤

[bleeding-black-heart]

my guy you are literally curled up in a ball, sobbing in the middle of the street

you need to get up and do something

i...

*okay, yeah, that's kind of embarrassing. he still doesn't get up immediately, unfortunately, but he does slowly allow his body to unravel from around itself and to relax again*

*they glance around awkwardly at their goopy surroundings, gaze lingering on that journal again before they look up and notice... a plant sprout just a couple of paces away from them*

...did that.. person that came by leave that here...?

[bleeding-black-heart]

immm gonnaaa

bite you

*love's squint turns into a glare at that*

don't....

– 🖤

[bleeding-black-heart]

stop wallowing in self pity like this again

get up

*that verbal jab seems to stir some defensiveness in him as he tenses up*

i'm not... "wallowing in self-pity"....

*there's a bit of attitude behind their words now, past the lingering waver brought on by their tears*

– 🖤

[bleeding-black-heart]

okay no

stop it

*they lift their head up ever so slightly to be able to peer over their arms at you—or at least, attempt to. love's still squinting as though you're not quite visible*

...what..?

– 🖤

[bleeding-black-heart]

poking u with a stick

*he shudders at the poke and swipes at you with a hand, still refusing to pick his head up and remaining tightly curled in on himself*

[bleeding-black-heart]

*they don't do anything to stop it, apparently too caught up in whatever mental issues they're currently struggling with to even take notice of its departure*

– 🖤

Someone is walking past when they suddenly stop, turning to look at love.

…ew what the fuck

-🥀 @forgottenroseanon

*at the sound of her voice, his gaze immediately snaps to her... and then a wave of complete and utter embarrassment just crashes into him*

um....

*they don't seem to know what to say as that's all they manage out, all the while just staring at this stranger with a wide-eyed look*

– 🖤

[bleeding-black-heart]

..i...

i'm ssorry, i think somethhing's wrong... i can't.. remember anything....

*that's not true. love remembers a lot of things. but none of those memories ever happened, did they?*

*he hides his face as he rests his head on top of his knees, crossing his arms in front of his face to fully obscure it from Rose's view*

i'mm sorry for bothering yyou....

*that day never happened*
