No matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all. "What's wrong with you Sebastian?" "My name," he says, "is no longer Sebastian." /warnings for major character death/

During the months after Anne's death, Grell notices her absence in small moments that leave her feeling alone and disoriented. Like she'd thought there was one more stair than there was and her foot had fallen through the nothingness onto the ground.
