Gunnar would probably kick her out of the Crows if she ever said it out loud, but Toni didn't like nighttime.
Max was practically born in darkness, as much as he despised himself for it. Xenos preferred its cover for the same reason she did - easier to sneak around. Gunnar thought himself to be its master, as much as she warned him that such arrogance would be his undoing. She worried about him, even if he pretended not to notice.
They all thought she was one of them, a creature of darkness. It was true that she climbed in the dark, listened in the dark, fought in the dark. The blackness hid the blood on her hands. But nighttime wasn't a comfortable place to hide. It was an infection, an epidemic, and if breathed in long enough she swore it could taint the soul. Every night she dropped to her knees and whispered prayers for cleansing, understanding, forgiveness.
Not just for herself. She prayed Ripred would have mercy on all of their souls.
But there was one who was different. One who loved warmth, daylight, healing. Toni supposed that was why they'd grown so close. Sitting inside the cafe enjoying the winter sun, she couldn't think of a single person she would rather be meeting with.
The door jingled open, and Toni's face spread into a rare smile.
Mae.
oh it's coming soon but
like the spinning of the moon
in truth it is already happening
like the spinning of the moon
in truth it is already happening

think back to the start
when we sang with bolder hearts
and the darkness wasn't even bothering
when we sang with bolder hearts
and the darkness wasn't even bothering
