[ the hall lights feel harsher now, though she knows they used the same everywhere. malkuth feels like a voyeur of a kind, peered around a corner as yesod-- as gabriel chides ayin, which she didn't know he did, as they talk... about elijah, a little, as the conversation is clipped but civil.
the rules made sense. they were logical in their prevention -- being fully covered would... help minimize risks in that way, but she can't help but feel it a little much. yesod had wrappings around his boxy body too.
what did those help with?
gabriel bends to retrieve a fallen paper, glancing... looking for something, or someone, maybe just by habit ready to scold (because he was concerned, malkuth recalls him mentioning just before), but nonetheless tempting to answer the empty call.
elijah's quick footsteps would never again sound through these hallways.
malkuth's slow, careful ones do instead, spying on the other as her head peeks around the corner.
she isn't sure if she'd be a ghost of the past or visible at all, here, but-- she's curious. what happened after all that. was she helpful in the end? did anyone miss her? or... the rest was too sad to think. ]
