I. (Closed to Kavinsky)

[Ronan knows that things are weird; it doesn't take much awareness to pick up on the way everything is wrong, and the way that unlike dreams it stays like that. And here, he doesn't have Orphan Girl to look out for him, to twist things into something he can handle. The hunger for fear is a strange feeling, like a vibration in his bones. He still looks human when he sees himself in the mirror, but he knows better. His body feels like branches, slender and sharp-angled, and everything inside of him feels black. Twice his nose bleeds black, but he wipes it away and pretends not to notice. It's darker than black-- the difference between a color, and something Else.

He doesn't worry about finding Kavinsky, because he hasn't put together how bad this is, yet. It's not that he's resistant to it per se, so much as that there are specific problems he's facing, things bigger than what it means to worry about wanting to gorge yourself on fear. He thinks that all he has to do is find Kavinsky and that things will be -- some definition of okay, at the least. But when he sees him on the streets, it feels like his heart stops. There's a part of him that only sees the red. He should have kept better track of him, he should have-- his mind repeats things he should have done differently, better. But even if there's nothing wrong with the words, they still feel wrong. Almost like lies.]


Kavinsky! What happened? -- Are you alright?

[He moves in closer, unable to help himself. He needs to see how bad it is, hoping that it's something he can fix, that he can put him back together. He doesn't hate being like this so much if he's not alone with it. This could have been okay, the two of them vs. everyone else. But seeing the blood on his shirt hits him in all the wrong ways, even if he doesn't quite know the shape of what that is. He wants a name, but that can wait, because he wants to make sure Kainsky's okay more.]

Kaz was not running, and the ground was too soft and strewn with corn husks for him to use his cane so he carried it. His limp was more pronounced as he walked now. Every few of those limping steps in the cornfield there were large plate glass mirrors. At present, they only showed a reflection of the cornfield or of Kaz as he passed them. Kaz was wary of them because he had learned that the shifting landscape was always indicative of something bad was about to happen.
