This was kinda sad but I very much enjoyed. I feel for Brian, I really do. :/ I feel so bad for him. And I suck at giving comments so this is really all I can say. Sorry

This was just as beautiful as the last Placebo one shot I read of yours. It was also very similar. And yet, completely different.
I loved your discriptions, particularly the ones that pertained, I'm assuming, to Blvd. of Broken Dreams.
Across the street from him rushed a lady with her child dragging behind. Bran heard her muttering as he passed her, catching the tears running down the child’s face.
“…he’s a hopeless buffoon, your father. I hope you said your goodbye. Now hurry along…”
Things like that always grab my attention. I love it when people put minor, almost pointless characters into a story like they're a secondary, or sometimes a primary character. Even for just a moment. It makes things realistic, and, in my opinion, poetic.
The ending was so tragic, and yet, I expected it. Though, I'm ok with it. I don't think there could have been a different way to end it, so I think that's why I was expecting it. It just all fit together like a puzzle.
Great work again :)
