@dottolonesfirstchild: Height Log Age 7: “I’ll be taller than you one day!” Age 22: ”…I was right.” I used to stand beside you just to see how much I had left to grow. Now I stand beside your grave… and wonder how much longer I’ll keep growing without you. When she was little, Calicxia used to stand on the tips of her shoes beside Pantalone, insisting she would one day grow taller than him. He would simply laugh, rest a gloved hand on her head, and tell her, “Then I’ll have to keep growing too.” She believed him without question. Years later, standing alone before the stone engraved with his name, she quietly measured herself against the height marker carved beside the grave—the same measurement she had once taken from his body before the coffin was sealed. Six feet and two inches. She had reached five feet and eleven. For a long while, she only stared. Then, with the smallest smile that looked more painful than joyful, she whispered, ”…I told you I’d get taller.” She looked up at the empty sky. “I’m almost there now…” Her voice faltered. ”…Now I’m taller than you were at my age, Father.” Silence answered. She let out a quiet breath and rested her forehead against the cold stone. ”…You promised you’d keep growing with me.” ”…You lied.” #Calicxia #GenshinImpact #angst #pantalone #xyzbca
