「 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 」

Wow. That's it. I never thought I could write and finish a story in such a short time, but I did. And that's mainly because you, dear readers, motivated me with every single one of your comments or votes to keep writing this story.

You can't imagine how hard it was for me to write this last chapter and the epilogue, because it means that I have to say goodbye to Coraline and Damiano.

The two of them will always have a little place in my writer's heart and I hope I have done them justice with this happy ending.

I would also like to thank Maneskin, even though they will thankfully never read this, for producing such a beautiful song that inspired me to write this story.
The meaning of the lyrics is incredibly heartbreaking and beautiful, and I think sometimes we all feel a bit like Coraline.

And lastly I thank each and every one of you for reading this story, thank you for loving Coraline and Damiano as much as I do.

sincerely,
mina

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
Warrior with a zealous heart, hair like red roses
Those precious copper-like wires, my love, bring them to me
If you hear bells singing, you'll see Coraline crying
Taking in other people's pain and carrying it within herself

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline

But she knows the truth
Not everyone can carry on with their heart split in two
It's cold already
She's just a kid but she feels something weighing on her
And sooner or later she'll break
And people will say "she's worth nothing, she can't even walk out of a stupid door"
But one day, someday, she'll make it

I told Coraline she can grow up
Take her things and leave
But she feels a monster caging her
Covering her path with mines
I told Coraline she can grow up
Take her things and leave
But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no
Coraline would rather disappear

Coraline cries, Coraline has anxiety
Coraline wants the sea but is afraid of water
And maybe the sea is inside her
Every word is an axe, a stab to her back
Like a raft sailing a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, her

I'll be your fire and your coldness
Your winter shelter
I'll be what you breathe
I'll understand what's inside you
And I'll be the water you drink
The meaning of good
I'll even be a soldier
Or your light in the evening
I ask for nothing in return
Just a smile
Every little tear of yours is an ocean on my face
And I ask for nothing in return
Just a little time
I'll be your banner, your shield or your silver sword

And Coraline cries, Coraline has anxiety
Coraline wants the sea but is afraid of water
And maybe the sea is inside her
Every word is an axe, a stab to her back
Like a raft sailing a swollen river
And maybe the river is inside her, her

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
She lost the fruit of her womb
She never knew love
She has a father who's nothing like a father
They told her there's a castle in town
With such strong walls
That if you go live in there
Nothing will ever hurt you again
Nothing will ever hurt you again
