The lamb, and his god.
Teruki keeps sensing parts of the god's power, lingering in the edges of his periphery like a misplaced memory itching to be recalled. He sees the smoke, gone after a blink, and the gentle caress winding around his limbs is just the wind. It teases him—not enough to be intoxicating the way Shimazaki's presence was when he had appeared before him, but enough to remind him of it and somehow that is worse.

Summary
On the outside, Death looks deep in thought. Two souls had been taken from them, yet the very sight speaks of the unending love that often characterized mortal families. Here they lay now, immortalized in wooden figurines of their likeness, as if they lived on through them, as if they never left.
It's a sweet sight.
On the inside, Death is breaking.

Summary
Falling in love with Viktor was easy. Like breathing. Effortless, natural, and impossible to live without once it started. But Viktor himself was far from simple.
This is a[n admittedly a little rushed] story of relentless ambition, loss, and love that transcends the boundaries of time and mortality. Contains themes of grief.
