    Summary

    Rumi is six years old the first time she thinks that she might want to die.

    It's a fleeting thought, is the thing. There and gone again so quickly she's barely even registered it, and by the time she realizes what her mind has whispered to her she already regrets it. There had been an argument with Celine—nothing particularly noteworthy, just frustrated words and a slammed door whose echo bounced through too-empty hallways—and Rumi had thought to herself, Maybe she'd love me more if I was a gravestone, too.

    -

    (A pre-canon exploration of who Rumi was, and who she chooses to become.)
