(Warning, post contains allusions to gore, decapitation, disembowelment. Scroll past/ignore if you're squeamish :'|)

[Null sits against the wall, staring over to the corpse of

a_lost_number. The other version of himself lays in a heap on the floor; fresh blood oozing out of the large cut through his stomach. The other boy's entrails spill out of the laceration, intestines and bodily residue litter the ground beside him -- along with his head.]

[The boy draws his knees up to his chest, his machete laying next to him -- coated in the blood of his duplicate. He can't stop staring at that beheaded corpse -- his own beheaded corpse, laying in front of him like this. No man can meet the Perfect Soldier in battle and survive -- not even the Perfect Soldier.]

[Clutching his head tightly, he squeezes his eyes shut and clenches his teeth. The pounding just won't stop -- his head feels like it's trying to split apart. He finds his body trembling, unable to regain control over his senses.]

[...This is where he gets back into his coffin, right? Everything can just go away again? He'll get back into the tank if it will make his head stop hurting -- anything to make this pounding stop.]

(A little backdated but, this is the aftermath of this thread Warning: gore, decapitation, disembowelment. Open to everyone, especially anyone involved with that other thread.)

....

[Elisa looks to Null.]

[And then she looks to Null's corpse.]

[Then to the floor...]

[Then to... the back of her skull? Oh, her eyes are rolling back.]

[Aaaand she's falling.]

[Elisa collapses- Her body hitting the floor with a loud 'thud'.]

[Fury is jogging through the hallways, she doesn't really do much else anymore. Not that there really is much else to do... That's when she spots the boy covered in blood. She stopped in her tracks, and looked the scene over. She didn't know what to think, especially since the dead person looks just like the blood covered boy.

She also noticed the boy was in a lot of distress...

She could figure out what happened later.

She quickly walked over, and after taking the machete out of reach, knelt down and put a hand on the kid's shoulder.]

Kid, are you alright?

[Null doesn't even notice the doctor -- but the thud of her body hitting the ground causes him let out a pained groan, his bloody fingers digging into his scalp. He's still bleeding from both his leg and below his clavicle -- the injuries can wait until his head stops hurting.]

[Normally, Null would bristle from the touch and scramble to retrieve his machete -- but this time, he's largely unresponsive. He manages to shake his head, digging his fingers hard into his own scalp.]

He is dead.

[It's... definitely gonna take her a while to recover from this one. She'll be out for a long while :/]

[Sunny doesn't know how to deal with this. This building has made her see a ton of things, but this... This was just icing on the cake.

Taking a few small steps backwards, her hand unconsciously covers her mouth. She feels sick, and angry. She doesn't understand why she's mad, she's just tired of all the killing.]

[Miller catches sight of the girl's fall and rushes forward, dropping to his knees.]

Miss? [He grabs her shoulders, shaking her lightly.]

[No response. He looks up from her to see the corpse and winces, appalled. It's been a while since he's seen a death this gruesome.
His eyes locate the living Null through the carnage.]

What happened here?

[Miller knows he's in a bad situation.. but he can't let this elevate into anything worse.]

[Null lifts his head slowly, eyes moving over to where Sunny stands. He doesn't really grasp what's wrong; she looks... Upset? His head still hurts too much to try and identity emotions.]

[Remains K.O'ed]

[Head still pounding, he idly glances up to see Miller holding Elisa's body.]

...Put her down.

What d-d-did you d-do!?

[She stammers, and it sounds worse than before. Sunny didn't even know the person, or seem in the least bit confused when they looked alike. What she did know, or assumed to know was that to kill a person you must have some kind of sordid motive.]

[Her stutter makes his head hurt worse. Despite that however, his voice remains flat.]

...I killed him.

And let her lie on the floor unconscious?

[He frowns, glaring at the boy. He's obviously distraught -- as much as he'd like to know what transpired here, the odds are against him. Asking questions will get him nowhere for now.]

No, I don't think so. I'm not allowing her to remain here.

[His hand moves from his head going to clutch the handle of his machete. There's a bit of a wince as he moves; he's still bleeding from at least two places.]

...She is to remain with me.

I can see that.

[She gripped his shoulder a bit tighter, not to the point that it would hurt though, the turned him around.]

I asked if you were alright.

Why?

[He gives his shoulder a bit of a shake, trying to get her to let go. A small spurt of blood gushes upwards from the laceration below his collarbone.]

...Yes.

I had to.

N-no!

[He was lying, he had to be. No one has to kill anyone.]

You d-don't have to k-kill anyone.

[Seeing Null's hand wrap around the machete handle, he mentally kicks himself for jumping the gun.]

You're both injured. I can help you..

[The suggestion seems to linger for far too long, but he desperately hopes he can handle this without being disemboweled.]

Elisa is so not equipped to handle this. She doesn't even know which one of them is the dead one.
