[You really don't want to see this shit. Truer words have likely never been spoken these past few months, and yet, they go completely unheeded. Because the lights are on now, and even with Inaba standing in front of the bodies...the hair on the non-decapitated one is unmistakable, even soaking wet.]

...........

[Faize's body suddenly feels like lead. This can't be right. This can't be real, and yet...]

[Faize hasn't said a word since he and Hinata arrived in the lobby. And even now, with his worst fears confirmed, he still doesn't. Instead, the first sound to come out of his mouth, after all this time is...laughter.]

[Completely humorless, almost forced laughter that starts out slow and soft but grows louder and more broken as the seconds tick by. Roxy, wherever she is behind Hinata, will probably recognize it. From that one morning in the kitchen all those weeks ago during grief week.]

[When you've literally never dealt with actual, genuine grief EVER in your life, you don't always have the most appropriate response to it.]

[But the wrongness of Faize's reaction to this doesn't end there. Oh no, of course not. Anyone close enough to Faize who happens to look at his face will notice something pretty fucking weird about his eyes. No, not the glassy wetness of tears that have yet to fall, that much is probably completely expected. But what was once purple is now a glowing neon red. It's a shame the lights are on now because this would have been a hell of a lot trippier in the dark, but them's the breakers apparently.]
