Oh my god this is stunning. It's awful, evocative, vivid, painful... there are so many lines that struck me. How many times Mingyu can say "We could have saved them" before Minghao takes this piece of rebar and sticks it through his throat. and Instead he just closes his eyes and remembers what Mingyu used to sound like, back before the air was hot, back when he would touch him. - wow!! The inevitability of the end is so clear and terrifying in this piece, the fire so real and close-up. I loooved it, thank you so much!!
