where we keep the light we’re given | chapter 8
Naratrish + Team Bucciarati ensemble, multi-chapter (ongoing), T.
After Diavolo’s defeat, Gold Experience Requiem resurrects Bucciarati, Abbacchio, and Narancia. In the aftermath, Trish drifts away from the others and becomes a pop singer. Five years later, she hires Narancia to be her bodyguard on her final tour of Europe. They heal and learn and fall in love. Eventually.
This chapter has been 2+ years in the making and is about heartbreak, saying what you need to say, and Mista’s Adidas slides.
“Who did we think we were kidding, anyway?” Trish asks. “You and me—just some singer and her bodyguard, running around without a care in the world—as if. Old friends? Normal people? Did we think that we could start over?”
Narancia dully laughs, which throws her. “I never wanted to start over.”
“I did.” Trish’s voice breaks. “That was all I ever wanted, Narancia.”
