Fucking— [ A bunch of thoughts burst into being at once, the line about a crime she didn't commit, the lines about Dokja-
He doesn't understand. Akira hasn't understood a lot of what's happened in the past few hours but that's mattered less when he had to keep moving and keep moving but now he's stopped and he—
His first clench and he stands, he wants to punch something he wants to kill someone, the blood in his veins finally boiling over like it's threatened to do all day. ]
[ A small rustle of movement later, Akira begins speaking. ]
We were told we had to disable the guidance system, and we popped out right in front of a church. All of us had to choose to become some kind of King...I picked the Fang King. Super strength and the power to shred people. Was kinda like what I did in the kiln, I guess? Cept I kept my head.
[ A harsh sound that could almost be laughter. ]
We snuck and by snuck in I killed two people right there, even though I just meant to knock them out. My powers always work that way. And we went down, down, down on this elevator to a bunch of levels...they were working on shit and observing the worlds we've been to. Making bombs and seeing just what they could send to other places. That's when Kitsuragi lost his arm. We got cornered into pretending he was a test subject and they were gonna toss him into a tear to see how much it would fuck him up. So I killed them too.
...then we ran and fell and wound up at the bottom. There was a computer thing there? And a projection. It asked us questions about hardships and free will, easy shit that I've known since I was eight. It disabled the system and gave us a piece of a bomb, and a pin. Told us to wear our sins proudly and give them hell.
So I gave them hell. Fought our way up, sent them a message, even idiots understand when everyone around them starts dropping like flies.
[ Honestly, yeah. It's fun when your blood carries memories of murder that can loop into a feedback system if you're not careful. ]
I wasn't gonna let them die. [ Or let them make choices like he did, cause that's how he thinks. His eyes flit to Joonghyuk's after a moment, after he processes he should get now that someone has told him so. ]

I'LL FUCKING KILL THEM!!!

[ If Akira wants to kill someone, Joonghyuk isn’t going to stop him? He puts away his medical supplies and washes his hands at the kitchenette.
Time to cook porridge, now just for two, and after they’ve lost three. ]
You would need to be prepared if you want to do it during trial.

That makes something inside him collapse in on itself, his hands finding their way to loosely wrap around his knees. ]
...I've already killed a bunch of people today. [ What is adding one more? ]
Feathers...I have a bunch of those too even if I had to use some.

[ Joonghyuk isn't unsettled that an 18 year-old ended up killing a bunch of people. He's from a world where children are forced to kill.
That doesn't mean it should be the norm. ]

Good on you for helping everyone get there.
[ Because that is what Akira did. ]
Now you need some rest.

...what about you?
no subject
[ Cause how can he really rest? However, he knows better than to use up too much energy for nothing. ]
Maybe read a book.
[ They can have dinner and wrap this thread up. ]

I can cook breakfast tomorrow. [ They can exist within each other's space and not be alone in this apartment together. ]
