Silt Verses protagonists // Returning Home

#the silt verses #hi just realized carpenter and faulkner's returning home episodes are both chapter 9 of s2 and 3 respectively #idk what to do with this info #anyway something that makes me deeply emotional about this #just the way all of them return to it #paige expecting to come home to an empty abandoned place. surprised to find what's there. seeing the land as unpredictable. #carpenter knowing of the ruin of her previous childhood home. haunted more by the people she left behind. finding no comfort in being back. #faulkner being optimistic. saying perhaps his home could be a temple one day. this is the safest place i could be he says #(and I can't help but think about faulkner leaving marks before he left his home. so that no one else could find a home there.) #(both paige and faulkner returning home when they have no where else to go) #hayward looking up at his old home fondly. there's nothing left for him there. nothing he can find that he doesn't already have. #let her have the lie of me he says.
