Rain lashed against the windowpane in a rhythmic assault, drowning the bedroom in a heavy, suffocating gloom. Amidst the tangled sheets, you lay rigid and breathless, haunted by the ghost of Fiyero’s death, tears silently carving salt-streaks down cheeks turned away from their partner. A sudden, violent crack of thunder shattered the silence like glass, jolting the Scarecrow awake. Blind to the depth of you's sorrow in the oppressive dark, he shifted, his straw-filled frame rustling softly as he reached out a clumsy hand to find them.
