i knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

After certain events, Curt keeps seeing Owen in the corner of his eye. He knows he's hallucinating, that his brain's trying to cope with the fact that the man he loved is long gone. Still, he sees Owen everywhere, sitting on the couch, walking past him, everything.

So, he talks to this Owen, trying to rationalize his thoughts. Of course, the complete opposite happens when it dawns on him that Owen's a ghost, not a hallucination. To make matters worse, Owen won't leave until they've made amends. Thus begins the tale of Curt Mega and the ghost of his ex-lover, Owen Carvour.
