The air is tense. No words are spoken.

Clover can hear her heart pounding louder and louder in her chest. Her hands clench into fists.

Hurting people was bad. Never hurt other people. Hurting other people makes them feel sad. Hurting other people makes them feel scared. If you disagree with someone, just talk it out. Never hurt other people.

Her heartbeat is drowning out everything.

…If hurting people was bad, then why were they hurting her?

>> χ (M2 Mind roll: 82 = Success) << (Remember your brother.)

The only thing Clover remembers is a flash of red, then suddenly she was on top of that girl, limbs thrashing around, distant screams, and her jaw open wide, about to bite down through the perfect skin of that girl’s shoulder. She’d show her. She was strong now, extremely strong. She could do it. She’d show her what happened when you messed with her too much. She’d show her what happened when you insulted mom.

Her heartbeat was loud, oh so loud.

…As her teeth ripped through skin, the only thing that stopped her from going through bone was Henry.

All of a sudden, the world was clear again. Clover could hear everything. Evelyn’s terrified screams. The other two scrambling away, calling for help. The sounds of footsteps running toward them.

She could hear the sounds of her own sobbing as her tears fell onto the cold tile floor.

She slowly lets go, staring at her shaking hands through her blurred vision. Then, she’s roughly pulled away by multiple people.

“Evelyn, are you alright?!”
“Samantha’s gonna get the first-aid kit!”
“…Here. Rivers. Use this handkerchief.”

The world was spinning. Too many things were happening at once.

Thrown to the side, Clover just curls up into a ball and begins to cry.

>No action for now.
