“Please take care of your namesakes, and let my dads hold you if they need comforting.” I set aside my can of beans and buried my face into Teds’s and Barns’s warm fur. If this was the last time I held my cats, I wanted to at least remember their clean, comforting smell.

Thank you

Intriguing, and interesting comps

I use 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘵 x 𝘒𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯. I’ve also considered 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰 𝘉𝘰𝘺 by Matt Haig, but that’s not as widely known or recent.

Thanks, Jadyn, those are great suggestions. I’d normally use italics for 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘏. 𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴, but on BlueSky that would use up more characters. If I drop "alone", it might just work.

Heavy and cold against my skin, a locket that reminds me what is concealed within. Inside 𝘪𝘵, and in my heart.
When I’m gone, someone will find those silver scales, balanced, suspended from a titanium sword. They’ll read the memory stick it holds. They will judge me, and conclude my quest.
