Rai was really regretting having gone to the Nexus proper today.
Once Ren gets back from looking for him, he might hear the shower going. It wasn't even warm anymore, but the shivering probably isn't from the cold. He had thought a while ago that he was just being melodramatic, that he should pull himself together before Ren got home...but he couldn't bring himself to care enough to turn off the water, and his wet clothes felt heavy, too heavy to bother lifting.
He couldn't get that fucking image out of his head, that face--his face--in the mirror, mocking him, the demon's voice, muffled now by his wet hair and the water pounding down on his head, but still there...and breaking the mirror wouldn't help, that just made more of them and he couldn't get away...
So he was sitting in the corner of the shower, wet clothes plastered to his skin, heels of his palms pressed tight against his eyes in the hope that the starburst would keep the visions at bay.
