The Pool, Thursday Morning

[endsthegame]

That morning Ender had received four phone calls from Peter.

Three had come from Fandom's Peter, and in all cases Peter had hung up before Ender managed to even answer the call. The third was from his own Peter, calling in to confirm he'd be showing up and he'd be taking Petra and Suriyawong with him.

Ender's opinion of these events was mixed - though he would hardly say no to a chance to see Petra and Surrey again, the rest was a little more complicated.

Luckily, his regular morning swim always allowed for a good opportunity to clear his head. He made it there early so that he'd have some more time today, quickly stripping down to his swim trunks and diving in.

If there was one thing he'd miss about Fandom in the near future, it would be the easy pool access.

The Roof of the Dorms, Thursday Evening

[dressedinblood]

Today was April the twenty-sixth.

It didn't mean anything to most people. It was a Thursday, a few days before graduation. A day for packing, maybe, or catching up with people you wouldn't see again for at least the summer. Anna didn't know exactly what everyone else was doing. She hadn't really noticed.

Because for Anna, April the twenty-sixth was the day she had died.

She sat on the roof, on the ledge, her feet dangling over six stories of nothing, as she had all day, and she remembered the things she hadn't been able to remember for so many years, things she almost wished she didn't remember now.

( Cut for length and remembered violence )

And she hadn't. Not until Cas came. And now she was pretty sure the house was gone, and she was here, but she was still trapped and she was still dead, and today she just had to wonder how much it mattered.

(Open emo roof is open! And emo! Events under the cut taken and paraphrased from Anna Dressed in Blood. If you are remembering my original infopost for Anna and thinking this isn't right, you are correct! I had originally given her a deathday in February, but I moved it because I came to my senses and realized she wouldn't have been walking to a school dance in a thin cotton dress in Toronto in February.))
