#can we talk about the fact that silver will one day find himself (if he hasn’t already)#hurting and missing just as he did when he lost madi#he will find he’s missing one last vital piece of his soul that holds him together.. one that stood right next to madi#of course flint was right OF COURSE he knew john better than anyone and even when he’s gone he still dictates silver’s future#silver’s life won’t be enough and he’ll dive right back into the past to search for meaning#because he won’t be able to stand it being for nothing#he won’t be able to stand flint’s memory being for nothing. he will never be at peace knowing flint is buried and gone#so he’ll go on one last foolish adventure to reunite with the ghosts of his past and maybe this time he’ll win
