 "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.
