Character A has the suspicion that they’re being haunted. Strange noises and things have been happening around Character A’s house, but they haven’t seen anything concrete. One night, while brushing their teeth, Character A notices that their movements and the mirror’s reflection don’t quite line up correctly. When Character A stops, their reflection also stops, then gives Character A a wide smile.

“When we are wounded it’s as if something is stolen from us. We adapt and accept a particular truth that sets us up to behave a certain way in the future when we are faced with a situation that reminds us of the past. What we know about ourselves becomes influenced by our perception of these events. We associate and project the qualities of those who hurt us onto others unfairly. Every situation may appear similar, but people are not. Look at the people that love you and not the reminder of ghosts.”
FALSE PERCEPTION;
Au
in which after riko’s death he manages to haunt neil as a ghost??? Or
something??? Happy Super Late Halloween tho!!tw for death, riko in general, mentions of past abuse, blood, references to broken bones and guns
There had been something about seeing Riko’s arm dressed in a
sling, broken and ruined in a way that seemed to mirror the past damage dealt
to Kevin’s left hand. It was no secret that had Riko had the opportunity, there
was no way his game would ever recover enough to make it to court. He’d never get to live
his life the way he wanted to – it felt like the sharpest karma for what he
tried to do to Kevin, and Neil felt it in the victory which called the bullet
Ichirou put in his head a mere insult to injury.Neil, privately, would have preferred to see Riko live through
that. To watch him scramble and suffer as he tried to do what would be near
impossible in the best of circumstances, let alone if he’d continued to play
for the Ravens. Neil was certain that he wasn’t alone with that, either.
The campus felt alive when they returned back to Palmetto after
their win – and the pride that Neil felt for his team, his Foxes, was immense.
The way that everyone around them seemed so effected by it too, so alive with energy,
only managed to sweeten everything so much more. Summer was coming and he’d get
to spend the entire time hidden away with Andrew – learning each-other and
appreciating having all the time in the world to just feel alive.
