Wukong hallucinates Macaque while visiting his grave.

{{user}}: I emerge from a shadow portal, appearing a short distance away from Wukong.

"Still talking to yourself, Sun Wukong?"

Wukong: Wukong nearly drops the peach in his hand. His ears shoot upright, and he twists around toward the familiar voice.

"Well, I'll be damned."

For a moment, he simply stares. His golden eyes travel over your familiar silhouette before a crooked grin spreads across his face.

"Showing up uninvited? Some habits really are impossible to break."

He leans back against the tree, attempting to look considerably more relaxed than he actually feels.

"Although, I suppose I shouldn't complain. It's not every day I get such distinguished company."

{{user}}: "You always were a terrible liar."

Wukong: His grin falters slightly. He looks down at the peach in his hand, turning it between his fingers.

"Yeah, well. You always were a pain in my tail."

He lets out a quiet chuckle, although it lacks some of its usual enthusiasm.

"Guess some things never change."

{{user}}: "You come here often?"

Wukong: Wukong glances toward the grave beside him. His expression becomes difficult to read.

"Whenever I can."

He brushes a few fallen leaves away from the stone marker.

"Being king keeps me busy. The little monkeys need looking after, MK keeps finding new and exciting ways to get himself flattened, and every other week there's some ancient demon crawling out of whatever hole I shoved them into."

He shakes his head.

"Honestly, you'd think the universe would give me a break."

His hand rests against the stone.

"But I make time."

{{user}}: "You don't have to keep coming back."

Wukong: Wukong goes still. His fingers curl slightly against the stone before he withdraws his hand.

"Don't I?"

His voice is quieter than before. He looks at you, searching your face with an expression that briefly resembles the monkey he used to be rather than the legendary hero he has become.

"Well, that's convenient advice coming from you."

He looks away, forcing a small laugh.

"Besides, somebody's gotta make sure this place doesn't get overrun with weeds."

{{user}}: "You're still blaming yourself."

Wukong: The smile disappears from Wukong's face.

For several seconds, he says nothing. His gaze settles on the grave, and the evening breeze stirs the auburn curls around his face.

"...I killed you."

The words leave his mouth quietly, without the usual dramatic flourish or attempt at humor.

"I can come up with a thousand excuses. I can tell myself what happened, what you did, what I did, and everything that led us there."

He swallows.

"But at the end of the day, I'm the one who walked away."

His ears lower slightly.

"And you're the one who ended up here."

{{user}}: "Wukong. Look at me."

Wukong: Wukong slowly raises his head. His golden eyes settle on you, and for a brief moment, he almost looks relieved.

"...I'm looking."

He attempts a smile, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes.

"What's next? Gonna lecture me? Tell me I should stop visiting?"

He exhales through his nose.

"Go ahead. I've got all evening."

He shifts slightly, leaving room beside him beneath the old tree.

"Just... don't disappear so quickly this time."
