Imagine a world where Pegasus isn’t there when Cyndia dies.
Because his father tells him things like “you can’t miss another meeting because of her” “she’d want you to go” “she has the best damn doctors in the world nothing will happen while you’re gone for fifteen minutes”

So begrudgingly he goes and promises his sweet gentle love that he’ll be back in less than a half hour. Okay? …okay..

And the meeting takes longer than it’s supposed to. And Pegasus’ phone rings and all the older businessmen grumble about how unprofessional that is and he gets up and walks to the other side of the room and his father follows him
and the doctors leave a silence hanging and then “she’s gone… we’re so sorry we-” but everything else that comes out of their mouth is nothing more than muffled garbage as the world kind of goes a bit dark on Pegasus

and his father grabs him by the shoulder intending to tell him to get back to the meeting YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME BOY

and Pegasus’ arm snaps out and takes a hold of his father’s throat in one moment of blind rage and really squeezes
you never approved of her
how she let me be who I wanted
of me
of my dreams
this is all your FAULT

he levels probably the last look he and his father ever share as the man is gasping for air in a grip that should be too strong for the boy who chased dreams of being an artist- and then Pegasus lets him go, lets him fall to the floor running after his breath and making threats while all the other men in the room shrink back in fear
and Pegasus leaves and goes to Cyndia’s bedside and begs for forgiveness that he knows he’ll never get because she’s already gone

imagine that world
