Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium🎵

Selene adjusts her gaze to the seat next to me and a new presence enters. I turn to see Loona sitting on the bench playing with me.
My heart all but exploded upon seeing her. She smiles at me too and to Selene.

🎵Stone hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run

Stone hard, as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium🎵

As she says the verse Selene still watching stands up and smiles at me once more before she turns into dust in the wind like she was Thanosed out of existence.

🎵You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium🎵

Loona stands up kissing me on the cheek before she too departs becoming like dust.

My tears and emotions spill out of me and I put all my anguish into my playing.

🎵YOU SHOOT ME DOWN, BUT I WON'T FALL

I AM TITANIUM

I AM TITANIUM!!!🎵

I lay my head against the Piano and cry for a minute gathering myself.
I look up to see the inhabitants of the hotel watching me. I don't know how long they were there.
Charlie's crying, Vaggies shocked beyond words, Nifty looks like she's on the verge of crying too, Alastor and Husk just look surprised, Angel looks like he's seen a ghost.

I get up and slowly without saying a word make my way to the staircase to go to bed.

....

"GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. ITS SHOW AND TELL DAY TODAY!!!". Says Charlie her voice echoing in the halls. She's been waiting all week for this.
I open my eyes haphazardly. I brush my hair out of my vision the first thing I see is my wedding photo with Loona the sunset at our backs her head resting on my sternum. My arms wrapped around her as I kissed the top of her head.
I still had the house but Charlie rented me a spare room in case I wanted to sleep there. I had placed pictures of my family on either side of the bed and the desk in the corner. That way I would always wake up and they would be there.

I sat down in the living room at her insistence,
Vaggies sitting next to her looking at Charlie lovestruck.

"Now who would like to go first? Alastor?-"

"Hold on toots," says Angel "What about the new guy? he's been here for a while and hasn't shared".

"Hmm.. good point Angel but Adrian's here to work at the hotel not to-"

"Yes, such a busy little worker bee". Says Alastor "He's been that way ever since he was an overlord".

"Yeah, that's what I'm saying princess if half the stories I've heard about him are true he's gotta have some wild stories to tell Come on Adrian spill your guts".

"Now Angel we don't force those to talk if they don't want to".

"I have no problem opening up Charlie," I say "If you want me to participate I will".
