    Summary

    It is unbearable to you, suddenly, that he should fear growing old. That he should fear anything, at all.

    “I’ll take care of you when you’re old,” you promise him, “because you’ll never be less beautiful to me. Even when you’re all grey and hunched over. I’ll even paint you, if you want me to.” And I won’t change your skin, or the curve of your nose, or the color of your hair. When my paintings hang on gallery walls, people will walk past and say, look, there’s Amadeo. My paintings of you will look like you.

    Silly romantic thoughts. Boyish daydreams. Sun setting over Venice, painting Amadeo gold.

    Summary

    "We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.

    Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.

    Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.

    Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.

    His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.

    "NO!" Pomni screams.

    (or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)
