Gah-! [He'd pull back and press a hand to his forehead, sniffling. It didn't hurt, not in the least, but it did break him out of his spiral, at least momentarily. He'd level a lidded frown, mostly a pout, in his direction. And then he'd grin.]
Better watch it, I'm hair triggered right now~
[And then he'd register what Baji had said about Mikey. What an odd thing to say.. The Mikey he knew was always confident beyond arrogance, a shard of light that he now could only see through red colored lenses. But to be fair, he had seen a darkness in him, right after he'd stabbed Baji, and right as Mikey was pummeling him to death.
Maybe, in a way, he always felt like Mikey had that in him. And so it was easy to peg him as the enemy..]
Your people...
[He'd look up at Baji, conflicted..]
If I asked you to forget about Mikey and stay with me, would you do it?
[It was a nasty question, he realized. Baji had apparently killed himself to save them both. But it was the both part that still made him twitch with anger.
He wanted to be special to at least one person, the most special person in someone else's life. Because he hadn't been to his parents, and his friends before Toman never cared for him, and even Toman was a group. Baji had been his best friend once, his partner in crime. Now he just didn't know what they were..]
