[ no he fucking can't, it's an order, he outranks him, something something something it doesn't matter. he just slips his arms through the bars, even if the press is uncomfortable, and he hooks lavi in close. his forehead presses, bruising, against the bars. ]
[ honestly he can only take it for so long either, and he eases back after a few moments, deep breaths, letting his arms retreat so that his gloved hands just curl around the bars for a second, and then they retreat altogether. ]
Cosmos and I woke up at the same time. We knew what it meant, but we were both confused. He told me he never had any intention of killing me, and I told him the same. [...] I know that sounds hard to believe, when you take the last two murders into account.
But I believed him when he said that. Didn't stop me from being paranoid that he still might try later that night. That's why I left the theater with him, cause I wanted to keep him in my sights.
[ lin jingheng nods, his expression only slightly impassive, brows ticked up. ]
... What happened in the aquarium...?
[ he grabs the plastic bag again and passes it through the bars of this bi baby jail. it is some snacks from the convenience store... and water. take. ]
[STOP don't call it bi baby jail he's an innocent to love,
He'll accept the water and snacks though, his mask of neutrality breaking a little to show his gratitude. Though it fixes itself back in place soon enough,]
The octopus attacked us, and we all started fighting. I got mixed up during, thought Cosmos was the octopus, so I hit him with a killing blow. He fell into the water and I dragged him out. That's when I tried to resuscitate him, but I was panicking too hard.
[also he forgot cpr]
Cut off the octopus's arm when it tried to drag him back, then chased it all the way to the onsen where I killed it.
