Short summary: Dimitri counts the days until they can be together forever.
He keeps a piece of yellow cloth in his bedroom, hidden in his desk drawer. He keeps a letter, a particular letter, hidden inside his pillow. He has a ring secured, sewn into the sleeve of his shirt.
He has a calendar. He counts the days until the next spring. He counts the days until the end of summer. He counts the number of days that the sun is obscured by clouds. He counts the hours that the sun has been up. He counts the hours the moon has been up.
He hears voices. He judges the pitches of each laugh.
He sees an arrow. He looks at every person with a bow twice.
His hears a roar. His heart leaps when he sees a wyvern.
Then his heart plummets when none of these things means that Claude is any closer to being here with him, in his arms forever…
