[[link test|testpassage]]a passage for testing the """$return""" function! it returns you to the last visited passage that isn't tagged with 'noreturn', whereas the general back button in the menu simply navigates through all visited passages. helps you avoid getting stuck in a loop!
<<link "return to game" $return>><</link>><<set $gamechapter = "chapter">>You were the one who found me first. And I’m so sorry.
It had been you that had walked and slipped, hands coated in me. What was left of me. They shouldn’t have let you near the crash. You were too fast for them, though.
I had never— I don’t know. I can’t remember too much. But I remember a headache, I remember the end of something, then the beginning of another. And then I remember waking up again, watching you.
I stand behind you now. You cannot hear me, you cannot see me. You cannot feel the way my lips press against your ears. You don’t hear the way that I am sorry. You don’t hear the way I wish I could feel your flesh slip against mine again. I wish I could feel the bones of your hips pressing into my hands as I hold onto you. I wish I could drown myself in your perfume.
Our dog. I see the way he stares at the door in the middle of the day. He waits for me to walk in, still. Even after all this time. Anytime he sees a woman with blonde hair walk past the house, he runs to the window and waits, tail wagging excitedly.
[[At night, he sleeps on the t-shirt you have pulled over a pillow to cuddle. I loved that shirt.|2]]
I went to my own funeral. I watched as my mother and father flew in that morning, walking headlong into the church. They looked strong, truly. It made me feel proud. But when they saw you wearing the earrings I gifted you one birthday ago, they broke down in the middle of the aisle.
Did you know that mom helped pick those out? She thought you looked gorgeous in gold with your eyes so green and smile so white. I never told you because I had wanted you to think I had good taste.
Mom cried. And I know she didn’t mean to. But she cried to you and said, <i>The last time we were all together, you two were getting married.</i>
We had gotten married one year and a month ago.
Happy anniversary.
I’m sorry I wasn’t there.
Anyway, thanks for the flowers. They were beautiful. The whole mass was beautiful.
The eulogy you gave made me cry.
[[I'm sorry, my love. I wish it weren't like this.|3]]
I hold you at night.
I know you don’t know, can’t feel. I tell you about time, how I repeat. I tell you I love you. You sob yourself to sleep every night. You hold in your hands a rosary and the necklace I always wore around my neck. You wear my wedding ring on your other hand.
Do you know that I hear you beg to die every night before you fall asleep?

There’s supposed to be something here.
There had been. Once.
Do you remember?
[[Would you still recall my face?|end]]
I can no longer remember
