.: Charles :.
Dragging his heels down the hallways felt like such a chore for the delirious old man teeter tottering On the edge of the thin line between sanity and insanity, his thoughts only fogging more with each Step he took, his manic laughter ringing throughout echoes heard only within the walls his voice Collided against.
Yet this chaos he felt inside, Charles couldn't find the right way to express the emotions that Consumed his very core as he trailed down towards the lobby, the dried blood on his grazed Shoulder gave him an itching sensation, so unconsciously the old man attempted to ease his stirring Anxieties and perhaps even fears as he started to dig his sharp nails into the wound, scratching the Skin raw as the wound began to rip and tear from it's protective layer of dried blood and pre Scabbing, Charles grinded his teeth together as he focused on his task, not registering the pain and Only trying to concentrate on getting the itching within his skin to cease, drawing his nails away, Charles noted how his nails were coated in both old and fresh blood.
It was just then that the mansion owner's journey stopped upon reaching the lobby, Charles Smirked devilishly as his glazed eyes spotted the ever familiar S.W.A.T member called Shinohara Yukinori, Shinohara had ruined everything by bringing his team here, by trying to correct his game And by making him rush the finale like this, it was all a mess.. it was all a mess!
Such a mess, such a disgusting mess!
Trembling was his body, every nerve inside felt shocked as the old man breathed in heavily, and Out just the same, clutching the scythe within his left hand, Charles flung his free arm behind his Back, and grasping his ponytail with a rough grip, he ripped out the band as hard as he could, not Caring for the damage this would cause, and soon his long white hair flowed down and enveloped Him, ragged and covered with split ends from such a forced tear, yet none of it mattered, Charles Appearance altered only to benefit how he truly felt on the inside.
"Why, hello... mister Shinohara-san! would you like to play a game with me? perhaps your little Blonde lackey there as well, oh, I would like you to know how much I truly adore them.. but For some reason, I have a feeling you already know that! don't you?" Charles exclaimed with a Shriek drawn from his heaving chest, drawing attention to himself as stumbled forth.
.: Shinohara :.
Shinohara listened intently as Saionji talked on and on, wiping his tears onto his sleeve, the Fatherly man didn't move to interrupt the little investigator, only did Shinohara offer his answer to The petite girl when she started to register his crying, it was silly.. yet somehow endearing how Worried Saionji got, she sounded like she would really try to fight someone, and that brought a Smile to Shinohara's face, so many people cared for him.. and now that he finally realized it.
There was no way he would ever forget.
"I'm happy... you know, it's strange! but sometimes you get so happy.. you can't help the tears That want to pour out, weird, isn't it?" Shinohara offered a short lived laugh that got cut short as Teela's voice answered through his walkie talkie, the man raising his eyebrows, he pressed down On the device to answer the maid back, sounding suspicious as he questioned her.
"What are you talking about..? joking about murder isn't funny you k-.." Just then, Shinohara's Eyes met the sickening sight of Charles stumbling into sight, feeling his heartbeat increase as the Psychotic man proceeded to rip out his own hair, it was a horrific sight as Charles chuckled loudly And called out to him, the sight was enough to cause Shinohara to drop his walkie talkie, the device Screeching out a nasty tune as it smacked against the marble floor below.
"Well... this was unpredicted, seems like this might cause some trouble..
I'm sorry to cut our reunion short, but could you please go outside to safety, Saionji?
In fact.. go outside right now and don't look back, inform my men to come inside and proceed with The raid, they have my full consist to do so.. oh and I'll explain everything to you afterwards,
Is that alright, little miss?"
Shinohara spoke in a calming, reassuring tone. even when faced with such a danger, the man knew He had to restrain himself from showing any fear in front of the girl, he had to protect her along With everyone else.
This was where he would make his most concrete stand for the sake of his comrades.

Blurry...
Something slamming, then movement and sirens blaring that could cause such a headache.
However, most of all everything around looked so very blurry to the injured boy, even breathing Hurt his lungs and in turn made them feel like they were on fire or perhaps being ripped from his Chest.
Closing his eyes, and then reopening them slowly and softly, they began to recollect their thoughts Enough to figure out that they were within some kind of moving vehicle, vaguely conscious as Various faces quite unfamiliar lingered over the boy.
The noise of machinery, along with hushed tones made him tense.
Grunting incoherently, the boy brought himself to close his eyes once more, the noises lulling him Off and back into a medicine induced sleep that he was intended to be having.
