Grace has known about the willow tree since she was 14. 


——— TRIGGER WARNING: SUBSTANCE AB//SE, MENTION OF S//ICIDE ———


|||At this point she’s lost count of how many empty whiskey bottles she’s hung from its branches. She comes to the tree to get trashed, occasionally yell at the moon, and often to yell at her girlfriend. It isn’t always clear who is to blame for the disastrous relationship, but tonight her girlfriend threatened to commit suicide if Grace didn’t stop drinking.|||

The cops were called, the parents roped in, and all in all, Grace is feeling more than a little done with humanity. She and her trusty bottle of whiskey are about to make a night of it- until she hears someone coming. She ducks behind the tree as Cassia enters.

Cassia is one of the Wild Ones- the children who are stolen away out of abusive/ neglectful homes in Averno and brought to the forest where they are raised by the Shadow Mothers. The Wild Ones are the Lost Boys of the forest, living in clubhouses of rusted metal, drinking mugwort tea and hunting deer in the predawn light, wild. 

But every Wild One must make a choice when they become an adult- leave the forest or follow the path of (eventually) becoming a Shadow Mother. Cassia made her choice long ago- she stayed in the forest, raised the other children, stayed in the twilight zone of her late-teens for a hundred years. 
She should have become a Shadow Mother long ago, but she always told herself she could wait just one more summer. But tonight, she has made up her mind. It is time. She goes to the edge of the forest for one last glance at the stars- and runs into Grace. 

Perhaps, Cassia thinks, death could wait one more night.

On her way home from church, Adelaide cannot decide whether or not to stop by the willow. She has been invited into a secret clubhouse by a woman who wears men’s pants and sits in the dirt like a child. A woman who makes Adelaide feel- confused. To stop at the willow tree would be a decision, a declaration, an admittance. 

But then she realizes- maybe that’s a choice she’s willing to make. Hell, maybe that’s a choice she WANTS to make. You can’t ask the universe for adventure and then say no when it shows up. When she gets to the willow tree, she finds two new chairs waiting- one of them occupied by Beatrice.

Beatrice takes Adelaide around the farm, picking flowers, showing her the forests and the glades.

Cassia sits beneath the willow tree. She can feel herself scattering, her memories slipping away, her mind fracturing and dissolving into the earth that has held her for so many years. Soon, she thinks she might not be able to hold on any longer. 


——— TRIGGER WARNING: SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND (POTENTIAL?) OVERDOSING ———


|||But then Grace arrives- she is shaking, pale, clammy. Cassia doesn’t know what she took, but she took too much and suddenly, everything is wrong. Grace isn’t the one that is supposed to go. Cassia calls an ambulance.

Cassia and Grace meet up for the first time since Grace was released from the hospital. Cassia is furious. At first they just fight. Grace finally realizes how bad things are, and decides to go to rehab.|||

Grace returns from rehab and she looks better than she has in years. Her cheeks are fuller, her eyes are bright, she finally feels alive. Cassia, on the other hand, is dying. It’s been long enough now that she’s really not here anymore, but she’s afraid to go.

Cassia tells Grace. She finally tells her everything. About being stolen away from a home filled with shouts into a quiet forest. About growing up wild, running beneath the summer moon with her sisters, her family. About the Shadow mothers. 

About what Cassia must become.

It’s fall. The willow is golden-orange and leaves gently drip down from it. Beatrice hasn’t come back since she buried Adelaide in the tree’s roots. She kneels down beneath the tree and places her hand on the moss. For a moment, it looks like she’s going to break down. 

Then, a little girl with rainbow sneakers and a butterfly backpack appears. Beatrice is bewildered as Meg babbles on at a mile a minute, showing off her jar of tadpoles. She is even more shocked when Meg climbs right up into Adelaide’s old chair. But when she asks Meg about it, Meg simply says:

“Oh! This is my imaginary friend’s chair. She said I could borrow it for a while.”

Beatrice looks up into the branches and smiles.

UGGGGUGUGUGGUGUGUGGGG IM REALLY PROUD OF THIS ONE!!!!!!! i really like how different it is to my other songs and just like the whole vibe of it really,, if you coudn't tell i was like really inspired by candle queen and i think it  h e l l a  shows,, the character's outfit was stolen (colors were reworked to fit the setting better) from my friend william bc he dresses like a legit time traveler literally every day and i wanted to put the character in one of his fits,, i was totally buggin for a few days bc i couldn't work on this song bc of an issue that crypton had with their new piapro studio updates,, for anyone who reads this who isn't following me on twitter and insta, basically piapro studio (a vsti plugin vocaloid editor distributed by crypton future media) had their first update in LITERALLY YEARS and upon updating it, people lost access to their third-party vocalists (vocaloids that aren't distributed by crypton),, so everyone was majorly upset as they should've been bc crypton royally messed up,, luckily they put out a rollback method but like??? y'all really messed up here????????? but yeah i hope you like this song, mixing was a pain bc i had to redo it after i found a big mistake in the vocals so i had to go back into piapro, fix it, and then export and mix the vocals all over again :/ yeah that wasn't fun,, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT i think,, omg also my producer anniversary in next month :DDDDD i'm gonna start working on something fun for it after i upload this,, but yeah uhh that's about all i have to say i think so uhhhhhh yeah enjoy the song :)
