[Mini Event] [se] a rung too high

Out of the shadows, the morning is breaking

And all is new, all is new

Sam wanted to run in panic, but his feet were frozen in place. All he could do was shake and hope it would be over soon, his hands clamped hard over his ears (perhaps it was easier that way, he could pretend that the lack of hearing was his own choice). The sudden hand on his shoulder made him flinch and look up, eyes wide and paranoid, detached from reality. He saw Remi, but recognition didn't flicker in his face at first.

Perhaps it was the stripping of his intelligence in the face of fear, but Sam's baser instincts set in quickly. He was injured and desperate for a cure now and it took barely a second for his mind to make a flimsy connection to Remi's blood being it. Really, he just wanted to drink.

"I'm sorry, I--" Apology spoken in an oddly angry tone and incomplete, he rushed forward to grab Remi, bite deep into his neck, immediately sucking to draw out any blood he could. The silence made it easier, somehow, as if if he couldn't hear Remi's shock, it didn't really happen.

It's filling up the empty and suddenly I see that
All is new, all is new
