"oh Arti" a text bubble reads on the first panel, being spoken by someone outside of the image. Someone's bloody hands cup his face, and he leans into it with a somber expression. Arthur has messy hair and a stubble, with dark eyes. the second pannel has no text, and shows that the speaker in the last panel, and the one who was holding Arthur's face, is Kayne. he is smiling, and has long black hair tucked behind long elvish ears. he is wearing a tailcoat suit with a cravat rather than a tie. text above panel 3 reads "you want him back" the third pannel is a close up of Arthur's eyes. he's crying and looking to the side. text below the panel reads "don't you?" fourth panel is Kayne speaking "Well that can be arranged Blondie" he is holding up a bloody, clawed hand to guesture casually. in the fifth panel there's a close up of an upset Arthur's snarl "I don't" he says "that bastard can deal with Hasur by himself." the sixth is panel is Kayne again, looking pleasantly surprised. "oh?" he says "then what do you want?" the seventh panel shadow the text "I want you to teach me to play the keys." in front of a backdrop with piano keys forming a spiral going down. Kayne bends down in the eighth panel, offering his hand. "prove yourself to me and I will. take my hand, will you?" panel nine shows Arthur taking Kayne's hand. a darkness surrounds the image ominously. there is panel to the side, which is the tenth panel. you would have to flip your device your tilt your head in order to properly read it. Kayne and Arthur exit a crack in space into a new universe, holding hands with Kayne leading Arthur, who is holding the dagger given by Kayne in Carcosa. "Go ahead Arthur" Kayne says "Kill him." the panel moves past them, growing lighter, less warped and twisted by pain, to light, untouched and pure. they seem to be in a house, and theres a portrait, with a smiling Arthur and his wife. their eyes are scribbled out. the panel keeps going to show Arthur's target. a smiling, joyous, and happy Arthur, well kempt and untouched by the horrors, playing the piano to Feroe, who's back is facing the reader, but she seems to be shouting in joy. Arthur is wearing suspenders, and faroe is wearing a dress, and has wild fluffy hair in ringlets.

Little au concept:

What if in one of the different universes, Kayne explained more about his abilities when he first met Arthur, just to see what would happen. In this universe, john was the one who suggested that if things don’t work out Arthur would die and they would work things out in the dark world, In this universe John was the one with the knife, and in this universe, Arthur disagreed with John’s backup plan. When John drove the knife into Arthur’s neck Arthur felt betrayed despite living, and Kayne, after having so many similar conversations, assumes Arthur would want John back, and is surprised when he stands corrected.

Arthur decides that he’s sick of the world, sick of being betrayed by John and sick of himself, so he asks Kayne to help him do the same think Kayne once did. Kayne, intrigued and curious on what would happen if a mortal did so, agrees so long as Arthur can stomach the worst of it, so he takes Arthur to a universe where Arthur is happy. Sure he still experienced loss, not Faroe is alive and his pride and joy, where Arthur’s absence would be felt and hurt the person to whom he holds most of his regrets.

panel 1: Arthur is standing against a black background. a text bubble spoken by Kayne, who is not in the panel, reads "I'm sure I don't need to tell you who they are, but know that they are smiling and laughing, happy even." panel 2: entirely text spoken by Kayne. it reads "kill him right here right now, don't say a word, and I will help you." 3rd panel: Kayne is speaking, looking off to the side somewhere as he does. "good luck, Arthur". panel 4: Kayne disappears, and the motion marks made to indicate that's look vaguely like an eye. panel 5: the black background fades into white as Arthur moves forward through the hallway, and music fills the air. he holds the dagger close to his side. panel 5: Arthur's alternate universe self, who will be referred to as Arthur 2 for convenience sake, has his back turned to the reader and is playing the keys of an upright Piano next to Faroe, who is tugging at his sleeve to get his attention. panel 6: Arthur 2 stops playing the piano and turns to see what Faroe wants. she points in the direction of the reader/Arthur 1. panel 7: it's a split panel which shows Arthur 2's eyes. Arthur 2's eye is wide and shocked, while arthur 1 is looking forward with unfocused, pained eyes which are tearing up. arthur 1 has a scar on the bridge of his nose while arthur 2 is unblemished and still knows comfort. panel 8: arthur 2 stands now, putting himself between Faroe and arthur 1, looking worried and unsure. "who are you? he asks "how did you get here?" panel 9: Arthur 1 stands, shrouded in darkness. he is angled so that the dagger is hidden, but it pokes out slightly. he is silent and doesn't answer, instead he seems to be hesitating and having second thoughts towards his task. panel 10: a close up of the dagger, the edges of the panel are more pointed to indicate alarm and action. panel 11: Arthur 1 bolts forward, face obscured by darkness. the shadow he leaves behind him is stark and thick. panel 12: the silhouette of Arthur 1 stabbing Arthur 2. 1's hand is on 2's shoulder while the other hand is pushing the dagger into his gut. 2 has a hand on Arthur as if he was about to try and push 1 away. Faroe stands behind 2. panel 13: Arthur 2's eyes become lifeless and dead.

start of ID: an informational drawing with a large amount of text below it. at the top left corner the image is labeled "Loretober day 2: Souls". below is the vague representation of a person, with soft smoke flowing off of them. this drawing is labeled "Human Soul". an arrow points to the other drawing, with two words formatted like a chemical reaction equation above it, reading as "Motive + Energy". the result of the reaction is a strange creature, centaur-like with mantis claws and a lizard head. sharp smoke comes off of it. this one is labeled "Driah Soul." the large amount of text below reads "when a soul is energised by a large amount of energy, it warps and mutates. this creates an unstable reaction which shatters or breaks easily, resulting in death; however, if a soul has a strong enough motive driving them, the reaction stabilises, resulting in a driah. motive is the primary factor that determines the shape and abilities of driah, however the type of energy used on the soul had a secondary factor. the primary factor energy determines is size. this is seen in the fact those closed to the source of an explosion tend to be the largest in their group. end ID
