"Oh my, I'm walking on air, talk of heaven on Earth." He gazes down at his prey. She's speaking to him, but he cannot hear.
"I've got more than my share. Haven't got a care." Starlight leans back on a desk placed behind him, weaving crackling stardust between his fingers.
"Haven't got a care." He repeated, not even noticing he did it.
"Wil--It's m--Can you he--me?"
Starlight's grin fades a little as he hears something, distant to his madness.
"Wilde--I lo--ou. Ple--s--come ba--to m--"
His powers falter.

"What a wonderful world."
Her eyes.
A bright blessed day.
To his dark sacred night.
