HOTARU
She's in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside
Waiting for me in the downpour outside
The tsk of her voice is mental only, but it's utterly damning and dismissive of his explanation. Grabbing, manhandling, attacking - they are one and the same in her eyes. It's easier to feel like the persecutor, the judge behind the stand, instead of acknowledging the raw terror that slowly closes up beneath the swift knitting of her own hands which distract and avert attention away from its existence. It simply never did.
Tension rises anew, venom licking her teeth. Frey would never mislead me, and they had no worries about Sunjata, she snarls. Wait - you cured - ? Hotaru jerks in Remi's grasp, a blinding strobe of lightning overhead so swift the thunderclap comes a moment behind it as her teeth seek his shoulder already coated in venom. LET ME GO! It's a roar that comes muffled behind her striking teeth, overshadowing the mounting horror of what he might have done to her beloved. What he might soon do to her, utterly against her will. The flight to Halo is long and arduous; Hotaru intends to fight every minute of the journey to preserve this gift in her veins. A security blanket that will someday keep her entire family safe if only she can slip Remi's grasp.

singing "Baby come home" in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time
