In my head, I play a supercut of us / All the magic we gave off / All the love we had and lost / And in my head / The visions never stop / These ribbons wrap me up / But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut
SUPERCUT
( "Persephone Writes a Poem" by Karese Burrows, Vivienne Westwood, "A Primer for the Small Weird Loves" by Richard Siken )
She closes her eyes. He probably won't come back, she thinks. Or he will, differently. What they have now they can never have back again. But for her, the pain of loneliness will be nothing to the pain that she used to feel, of being unworthy. He brought her goodness like a gift and now it belongs to her. Meanwhile, his life opens out before him in all directions at once. They've done a lot of good for each other. Really, she thinks, really. People can really change one another.
"You should go," she says. "I'll always be here. You know that."

MY TONGUE, THE DAGGER AT YOUR JUGULAR. MY LOVE, THE SWORD AT YOUR BOSOM. WHICH DO YOU WANT?

Juno could barely tell where she ended and where Black Cat started.
Frayed edges, like the loose ends of a childhood sweater. That was all she was. She couldn't see herself as anything else: every time she looked in a mirror her aunt's face would be staring back at her. Juno had high expectations to live up to.
Felicia Hardy was nothing short of perfect. A blonde bombshell. A jewel thief ever since her sixteenth birthday. She had never been caught; nobody wanted to catch her. She was the talk of London, everybody was obsessed with Black Cat. She was the anonymous, almighty cat burglar that had everyone in the criminal underworld wrapped around her manicured pinky finger.
... Until she got caught.
A couple of months before her arrest, Felicia got sick (or that's what she told Juno and her parents). With a new job on the horizon for her father, they packed up their lives in Australia and moved across the globe. Felicia was sick, or at least she looked it. Hair thinning and dull, eyes sunken in, spine sticking out of the thin skin on her back. Now that Juno looks back on it, it should have been easy to tell that it was a ploy.
The Raft was a bleak and dark place, which was what Juno had discovered when she visited Felicia. Her aunt didn't look sick anymore, but tired. She still smiled and laughed at Juno's small quips and had that spark of affection in her blue eyes (the ones Juno had inherited), but it was dim.
Felicia was talking in code. She always was. She was telling Juno about how a man named Robert Paine would be picking her up from school from now on, although Felicia had never picked Juno up before.
A week after that visit, a package came in the mail from "Black Fox" (who Juno later discovered was Robert Paine). Inside the beige paper wrapping, was what could only be recognized as Felicia's suit... the Black Cat costume. Underneath that, was a letter. It sat in a black envelope, with red sticky tape keeping it closed. A goodbye letter, a suicide note. Felicia Hardy was dead.
Juno Hardy was sixteen when she stole her first diamond. Hobie Brown was sixteen when he got bitten by that damned spider.
Maybe there is no start or end. The end of Felicia. The start of Juno. It's all the same.

Am I living an illusion? I wanna runaway, runaway, runaway. I feel like I'm losing control. Maybe I should let myself go... 'Cause this is so predictable!! Is there something that I'm missing? My walls are caving in. I can't hear what you are saying; I'm afraid of giving in!!
