    Summary

    The harsh cries of the jays faded, the trees crowding in thick and close, until even the rustling of leaves was stifled. Vash’s breaths turned loud in his ears, his heart picking up the unfamiliar tempo of anticipation.

    Just as he hadn’t expected to find an invasive shrub in this part of the woods, so too had he been unprepared to find a man slumped in the cradle of a wych elm’s roots.

    Summary

    Upon reentering the bedroom, Wolfwood sees that Vash is still sitting on the bed, gaze distant. He doesn’t stir until Wolfwood is standing right next to him, at which point he blinks and looks up, then has the audacity to grin.

    “Something on my face?”

    “Yeah,” Wolfwood grunts, reaching out to twig Vash’s nose. “Blood. Go. Wash.”

    “But my shoulder,” Vash whines. “How am I supposed to bathe when I can’t even lift my arm?”

    “How did you reach a million years old not knowing how to wash yourself?” Wolfwood asks incredulously. “Do you just sit around looking pathetic until some idiot comes along and takes pity on you?”

    Carefully, like he’s saying something sensitive, Vash says, “That depends, I guess… Is it working?”

    ---

    Wolfwood washes Vash's hair.

    Summary

    And sure enough, like Vash was riding some liquor-ridden premonition — at the last block of the city, turn the corner bathed in florescent light in a blinding shade of burnt-out pink. It actually hurts to look at.

    “There!” Vash says, pointing to the neon sign.

    Wolfwood squints his eyes, concentrates really hard and the scenery focuses into his vision. The setting: the Lonesome Dove, a fine establishment surrounded by the rusted remains of a wrought iron fence. Within it — three stories of crumbling stucco and open-faced rebar peeking through.

    Wolfwood follows Vash's finger. The “V” of the neon sign makes a heart.

    Wolfwood groans, hobbling with Vash to the front door.

    Summary

    It's been three years. Vash is haunted by the events of the past, sometimes literally, and still coming to terms with his grief. He's... not doing a very good job. But then a flash of gold and a ghostly whisper open his mind to other possibilities...
