Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it somewhere deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
