[After the events of
Terezi's plan and Karkat's confrontation with Scratch, Karkat returns home. He doesn't know what time it is. It was past midnight when he left his house answering a call from Doc Scratch. It has been a few hours since, hours in which Karkat has learned more about their session than he had dreamed Terezi's plans would have yielded, but he only feels completely defeated.
So instead of trying to hunt down and get revenge on Scratch like he's spent the past few hours doing (and does he ever feel like a fucking idiot now for that) he's just completely exhausted and miserable.
He creeps in quietly, careful not to wake anyone. He's covered in enough teal blood that it's pretty fucking obvious what happened and beyond that, it's clear from his expression that all is not well here, and he doesn't want anyone to see him like this. He just wants to discard his fucking clothes and go drown himself in the shower for a while.
Unfortunately, he's forgotten that his lusus is awake at night, and even though he's making an effort to be quiet, his plans are ruined by the loud commotion his entrance causes downstairs in the basement. He doesn't want to put up with this shit right now, so he starts banging on the basement door.]
Shut up. It's fine, just shut up.
