    Summary

    Kobeni Higashiyama was terrified of Ms. Makima. This statement should elicit a feeling much like the experience of a blue sky, or green grass. The warmth of a big, bright Sun, perhaps. That is to say, all of the constants in the world exactly as one would expect to find them. As Kobeni was terrified of most anyone, and most anyone with sense was terrified of Makima, this was, to reiterate, perfectly natural.

    Summary

    “You can’t stay here.” Toji’s eyes are the only things that have apologies. Everything else, all of him is too cruel otherwise. But Megumi focuses on those eyes, sees his reflection in them. “You may not be much of my son, not really. I won’t hold that over you, shackle you to any part of my godforsaken lineage, but you got my blood which means you’re strong, if nothing else.”

    “Toji- what-”

    “This door.” Toji interrupts. “Is going to lead you somewhere terrible.” as Megumi's dragged closer everything takes a distinct water like quality, like he’s seeing everything beneath the waves, the blinding white around him mutes slightly. “But you’ll be alive.”

    OR

    Megumi dies; seeing Tsumiki and then Gojo die is too much for him to handle. Toji leads him back to life. No blood of his dies like this. revelations occur, good, bad and complicated.

    Summary

    There's something about this girl, like looking in a funhouse mirror a third of his size. “Oi, kid,” Toji says. “It’s you, isn’t it?”

    The girl glares daggers at him from behind a pair of red-rimmed glasses too big for her tiny face. She’s looking at him like he’s totally crazy, which isn’t entirely untrue. “Huh? Who the heck are you?”

    In lieu of answering, he asks, “What’s your name?”

    The girl scowls. “Maki.”

    “Maki,” he repeats, and it’s like a missing piece of his soul falls back into place. The record of his life before he fought the Six-Eyes brat is a long, impossibly white scroll of nothing -- but written on it in faint letters is the name of a child, a child with a delicate name that brushed the heavens, spun a prayer into letters; a name that began with an M, and it ended in i, too.

    “Maki,” he says again. “I think you’re my daughter.”

    --------

    Toji makes a mistake. It changes everything.

    Summary

    A final thought came to him.

    Eventually... He would slip into his permanent drift.

    Not sleep. Not death. Something slower. Quieter. A dream that never ends.

    In it, perhaps, he could build the world he never had. A world untouched by betrayal, unburdened by power.

    Or maybe… he’d dream of what came after. Where he no longer had to be good or wise or anything at all.

    Perhaps he’d see them again there, Eternal Sugar, Mystic Flour, Burning Spice, Silent Salt; shadows of themselves, softer, kinder.

    But maybe not.

    It didn’t matter.

    The dream would be his.
     

    Shadow Milk is torn between further corruption and redemption. But comfort is easy to fake. Paradise is easier to build when it’s built on lies. Maybe he’ll make his own.
