I'm sure you know this but you're not going to make it. So you can let go. You don't need to hold onto your job or pride anymore. You can relax now. You've always lied to yourself, right? At the very end, think about whatever you want to think about. Your family? A pet cat? A sweetheart you left back home? Picture them in your heart as you die beholding a beautiful sight. I can at least let you lean on me.

The things I loved… My family back home. Konpeito. Kitao Shigemasa's illustrated books. Being in the arms of the one I admired.

This was a series of collages I made for the MCYT Recursive Gift Exchange held by @mcytrecursive for @/nobledragonflying, inspired by "Ruby in the Moonlight" by Silverwing15. This was originally posted here on Ao3, but I had made these with tumblr post dimensions in mind ^_^'
