n. the moment you realize that you're currently happy-consciously trying to savor the feeling-which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it's little more than an aftertaste."Five? Do you think it's weird that I've remembered so quickly?""No. I don't think it's weird. Why? Do you think it's weird?""I don't know. I want to remember, I really do. But if I remember, will that make me forget my family?""No. I don't think you'll ever forget your family. You'll just have remembered your old family."Sequel to Keyframe(Season 3- The Umbrella Academy)…

n. a moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion into a strange new era of your life-set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next, until entire years of your memory can be compressed into a handful of indelible images-which prevents you from rewinding the past, but allows you to move forward without endless buffering.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"What happened in 1958?" Five asks softly, stripping out of his blazer and vest. He sits on the ground and takes off his shoes. I close my eyes as I think back to that year."I don't know, Five." I answer honestly. I open my eyes, seeing him laying on the ground. I pat the spot next to me, inviting him to lay on the bed. I wait for him to lay down and turn over to face him. "I lost all of my family, who I'd just found after being in literal hell for years, I lost my boyfriend who I had been in love with since we were ten, and I lost my father, butler, and maid. I went crazy. I just needed to feel like I belonged. "I was here for two years without any of our siblings being here, and in those two years, I spent most of it in prison." I say, looking into his forest green eyes as his thumb traces patterns on my hand. "I didn't mean to kill the cop that got me sent to prison. I was just feeling numb and empty, I just wanted to see if maybe killing him, would help. But, it didn't. Instead I ended up in jail for five years and dragged my best friend along with me."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sequel to Monachopsis(Season 2- The Umbrella Academy)…
