The Chaos

After the brutal comeback of Eito breaking Shiki's hands, he quickly ran away from Eito, gasping for air. Once he got to his own prison cell, he was enraged. He kept kicking buckets of paint all over the walls and floors, while still in big pain. He couldn't believe this happened. Without his hands working, he really can't do anything... not even paint canvases and draw. He was so pissed off. He ruined most of his room in a fit of rage then fell to the ground. Shiki screamed, but his cries were muffled by his long sleeves.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!! Fuck fuck!!! I hate him!!! How is he still stronger than before?! I hate him!!!! He should've been long dead now! Dead dead dead!!!" Shiki's screams were still muffled, but you could get an idea of what he was saying. As Takuya was about to head to his own room, he saw a bit of what was going on with Shiki since the door was half open. He was concerned for him and went to go see. He saw Shiki grab his palette knife with his mouth, and Takuya knew where Shiki was going to aim it, at himself. Takuya quickly sprinted and grabbed the palette knife away from him.

Shiki was enraged and tried to come after him but was in a lot of pain. Shiki groaned. "You bitch!!!! Give that back to me!!! Aahh!!" He kept yelling at him, but Takuya didn't budge. He kept pushing Shiki away from him and also saw the serious injuries in his hand. Who could've done this? It can't be Sumni... she's busy with her own stuff going on... it must've been Eito.

It made sense too. Eito was the one who was badly injured because of Shiki. Not only that, Shiki was the one who stole his shank. Takuya had so many questions but his main priority at the moment was to treat Shiki in the infirmary. "S-Shiki, please!! Calm down... you're seriously injured, you can't keep acting like this!" Takuya pleaded with him, tears forming in his eyes. Even if Shiki hated him, he didn't want any of the prisoners hurt at all. As he got up, he saw the aftermath of Shiki's room. It's so gross... are the walls all covered in paint? It wasn't like this before, but it looks so disturbing to look at. Takuya grabbed Shiki's arm and dragged him to the infirmary to get him treated as Shiki was struggling and pushing him away while yelling at him.

As they got to the infirmary, Shiki looked like he was tired and was put in the bed. Takuya wanted to ask other people to help treat him but knowing how much Shiki has changed for the worse, he couldn't bring himself to ask at all. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰, he thought to himself. He looked for supplies that could treat Shiki's broken hands, just anything that could help while Shiki looked at him with a deadpan expression. Why was Takuya doing all of this for someone like him? Shiki couldn't come up with a conclusion yet; he still felt hatred in his heart. He didn't want other people to pity him, especially people who seemed pathetic. Shiki felt a deep anger in his heart but kept it to himself. Takuya grabbed the supplies and started to treat him.

There was an awkward moment of silence through half of this until Takuya decided to finally break the ice. "Shiki... you stole my shank, didn't you? Why would you suddenly attack my friend like that?? Why? You've been acting so different lately... I'm so worried about you." Takuya said bluntly, wanting answers from him. He then felt a sudden chill on his spine.

"Takuya kun...~ Why are you doing such a thing to me out of all people? Do you seriously think I'll easily forgive you?"

"Shiki..."

"Yeah, I stole your shank. So what? Don't you feel angry? Why aren't you? I stabbed your friend, yes. It was never an accident; if anything, I should've killed him right there and then. That pathetic dude you oh so care about is so useless... we don't need someone like him, he-"

Takuya, scared by his boldness, backed away a little, "Stop it!! Shiki, there's no way you think of all of this, right?! It can't be... Shiki! You seriously don't have to do this... please... There's no good reason to..."

"Takuya, I appreciate your help, I really do, but nothing you do will ever change my mind about you. Do you really want to hear it? Okay. I despise you so much. I really do." He snickers. "I'll give props to your stupid friend though... he really did get where it hurts. I don't think I'll ever be able to draw properly now. Haha... heheh...." Shiki slowly starts to laugh hysterically.

Takuya silently starts to cry. Why did he turn out to be this way? He was doing just fine a long time ago... yes, he would usually feel odd every time Shiki would start conversations with him but he still enjoyed his company no matter what... but now, Shiki's not the friend that he used to know.

"But I..."

Before Takuya could speak, Shiki started to strangle him with his broken hands with every strength that he can hold onto. Shiki was pissed and didn't want to hear Takuya make up excuses anymore. "Dude!!? You still want to talk??! What's wrong with you!!! I'm not the same person as I used to be, just shut up!!! I'll never be the same.. just hate me already!!! Shut up shut up!!" While Shiki was angry at him, he was also in great pain, before Takuya knew it, Shiki was crying but... it felt so empty.

"S-Shiki..." He cried, gasping for air. He tried and tried to get his hands away from his throat but he just couldn't. How can he still be this strong? After what felt like more than a minute, they heard a loud thud at the door... It was Jun. He had to see Takuya in such a weak state. Takuya felt so embarrassed but the only thing he can do is cry out his name.

Jun quickly rushed over to them and pushed Shiki away from Takuya as much as possible and looked after him. "What the fuck are you doing?!" Jun looked at Shiki with an angry face while he sort of hugged Takuya, looking after him.

"What are YOU doing?!!?! Don't fucking intervene!!! Sumni set you up to protect him, didn't she?!! Get away!" Shiki yelled at him.

"What are you talking about?! You're not even making any sense right now!" Jun raises his voice back. '𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘮...' he thought to himself. He quickly held onto Takuya, making sure he was okay and ran off to the infirmary. After walking far away as he thought Shiki couldn't catch them, they took a break. Jun quickly checked up on Takuya, worried. "Are you okay?? Shiki didn't hurt you anywhere else, right??"

Takuya wanted to speak but all he could do is just cry on his chest. He felt so ashamed on himself and thought that all he did was push Shiki's buttons more than actually solve things. "I'm s-sorry I... couldn't do anything at all... I'm-"

All Jun could do in the moment was just hug and comfort him. "Don't worry about it... I don't know what happened, but you tried your best." He felt really bad for Takuya, he didn't like to see him cry like this. The moment he wanted to comfort him more, Jun felt something piercing his shoulder... he touched what seemed to be a sharpened palette knife Shiki did before he got his hands broken. Panicked, he quickly looked behind him just to see Shiki grinning.

"I... finally found youu..~" He panted while having some tears of pain streaming down his face, while he wanted to aim better, this was enough to get Jun in pain.

The moment he was going to come after Shiki, he hopped away. In pain, he held onto his shoulder.

"J-Jun..!! We have to go back to the infirmary quick! I'll bring the others with you too, but let's get you there fast!" Poor Takuya, not only he had to deal with Shiki, but the love of his life is in pain... it felt like his heart was about to explode. He held onto Jun and went to the room as fast as he can without hurting Jun more. He slowly placed Jun on the bed and then went out for the others in a panic.
