[Oh, someone hears his screams alright. Why, exactly, Ashe was out and about at this time was for her to know and...yeah, for her to know.]

[But when she sees this, she can't help but blow her cover. Vanish in the nighttime worked wonders.]

...Alma! [She reappears as soon as she breaks her silence, already preparing a Cure spell. Since the confrontation with Sylar, she had been peppering her days with using magick and going out on strolls; even if she wasn't able to use more magick at once immediately, it helped to be used to the constant exhaustion.]

Alma, cease this foolishness immediately!

[No- Someone had heard him. Still he tried to finish pulling off the thin layer of flesh from his arm fast enough before she could stop him. It hurt but it wasn't a pain he couldn't deal with. If he could rip apart his legs and arms he could rip his flesh off.]

No-...! I just-... [He bite down on his tongue, tears blurring his vision. Although dark outside his clothes were stained with black spots.]

[It had taken him a while to get away from that strange guy. All he wanted was a moment's peace and even in a place like this, it was hard to attain.

Yuu continued to walk along the streets, not really having a plan in mind or a set distance. The exercise helped clear his mind from the strange dream he had awoken from in terror. He saw unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar places that for some reason stirred something deep in him. It frightened him because he wanted to understand why he felt that way. What did it mean?

His train of thought was cut short when he saw a figure not very far away from him. A woman.

He held his breath and came to a stop. She held a strong resemblance to the lady in his dreams-at least her figure did- he was sure. The woman didn't move as if she were waiting for him to come to her. Once Yuu took a step she moved as well.

Yuu saw her turn a corner and he was quick to break into a sprint after her.
She took him straight into the forest and he followed without a second thought.]

[It broke Ashe's heart to see Alma doing this to himself, but she had no idea how to portray that. She wasn't the sentimental type.]

I said stop! [Ashe makes to grab Alma's wrist. She's a lot stronger than she looks.] Explain yourself! After everything w--Carrie did to see you safe, this is what you do?
