If he were feeling more sane, he would contemplate the idea that he had two friends and the fact that he actually felt that he could run toward them for safety. They were the first two names that came to mind as soon as the fear set in to flee his domicile toward the school. It was along the same lines that he was also not particularly aware of how out of breath that he currently was. How much his legs and the rest of his body hurt as he continued to run. Not particularly sanity that was driving him, but remembering that Spirit had told him that he was the strongest weapon in the world. Remembering that Genesis also was strong, but uncertain where he was.
Both at the school. Maybe! For his credit, he was not screaming. He had wasted all his screaming for the initial strike of madness. Now he was just puffing and gasping for air as his eyes stared about the distorted scenery in a maddened and frightened manner. Euphemia! Euphemia! The prince didn't have the power to look after her, but they had to be strong enough to do so. From whatever was coming. Not even sure what it was. Not even quite sure how he could run as the ground shook. Just picked himself up each time he fell and ran.

Oh, they probably thought they could get her. Yes. Cute little Rin, so helpless, always needing someone else to help her find her way. No doubt this was just a big joke on poor little Rin. But she had them. Yes, she had them cornered. They just didn't know it yet. Little Rin had grown up, she could save herself just fine, thank you. This wasn't going to go as easy as they'd hoped! And then, hahaaha Ha HA, the joke would be on them.
Grinning wicked(maniacal)ly, Rin stalked down the streets of Death City, a large knife in her hand, and watched the shadows. But when she heard someone coming, running in her direction, she sank back into an alley. This was her chance. She would catch one and make them tell her about this nasty joke. Show them that you couldn't pull the wool over on Asano Rin's eyes THAT easily.

"Ow, ow, ow." Rubbing the top of his hand with the other, he looked around to see if anyone was present before going to take his gloves off. It really was something quite intimate to him to actually show his hands to another person, but he wanted to make sure that he hadn't broke the skin or anything. At the very least, it was enough to get him to stop running about like a fool.
The perfection of a prince would not allow him to bleed through his white gloves. Pretty white gloves. The crazed thought slipped in and out without any realization that it was even thought. Of course, the only issue was that the tops of his gloves were well up his arm. Reaching to grab onto the material, he gave a light tug before noticing that he was pulling his arm off in the process.
And promptly screamed.

...
Shouldn't he have come by already? Rin chewed on the nail of her thumb. The running had stopped but she'd been busy thinking about proving herself she hadn't noticed when exactly. But she was sure the runner hadn't crossed her path. Turned off on another route? Taken a break? She was just about to peak around the corner when a sudden shrill scream went off not a foot away, and startled her so bad she shrieked in return.
Reply
Stupid! Now she'd let her position be known. There was nothing to do but make the best of it. Grabbing the edge of the wall she pulled herself to her feet and around the corner, rounding to face whoever was there.
"Ha! I knew it! Did you really think you could get the best of me that easily?"
Reply
If he actually sat and thought about what it was that he just thought, he might have started to realize his deteriorating mental state, but it was dismissed upon someone appearing out through the alleyway.
The immediate thought that came to mind was that it had to be that deranged Stein. His arms flew over his head like that would actually protect him. "I didn't press the SOS button! I didn't do it!" Clovis called out his innocence about the entire matter, shuddering and shaking like a leaf. Not really acknowledging the fact that the person a) looked nothing like Stein, and b) had a woman's voice.
Reply
Rin paused, then frowned at the shaking figure curled up before her.
"-What do you think you're doing?"
This wasn't right. How was she supposed to prove herself a brave kenshi when her opponent was cowering already? Maybe she was just so terrifying he'd lost the will to fight? Or was this just a trick.
Rin pressed her fingers thoughtfully up against her cheek. She couldn't just kill him when he was defenseless... could should? Yes, of course sh--
No. No of course she could not. Why was she even thinking that?
Reply
The latter was an amendment to those that he was planning on seeking. Not so sure why it was that he was going to look for the once prosecutor save that the man would probably have some cravat that he would like to see. Another slightly deranged thought that had nothing to do about his safety, or the safety of his sister. It just occurred to him that he would very much like another cravat for his clothes and he should be quick to get it. Or at least, painting supplies.
His panic and fear of before, obviously, had done nothing to help him remain sane (or even try to remain sane in the Madness Wave).
Reply
"Something's going on. Something... wrong." She had noticed that before, but it hadn't really clicked. The realization was just a bit of background noise in her head. Now it was clearer, but her emotions were twisting from want to kill to want to flee, and shadows were popping up in her peripheral vision. So many of them.
She tried to focus on the blond in front of her, on what he'd said. "Shibusen's... probably a good idea." It was their crazed world, they should know how to handle this, right?
Reply
"Shibusen? Hm. Sure, sure, let's go." The prince stood, and brushed off the dirt off his clothes. His face still reddened from his fear and panic that had gone on just moments before. Really, uncertain if this was an improvement or not, but at the very least he had a goal. Wait, why did he have a goal? What was he doing just moments before? What did it matter? "Be sure not to drop any of my supplies."
Reaching down, he picked up a few rocks from the surrounding area before tossing them at her. "Come along, then."
Reply
"W-wait, do you know what's going on?"
Reply
His fingers drummed lightly on his chin as he tried to think of why it was important, before he started walking toward the school again. "You understand, don't you? I'm certain that you understand." It seemed like he had just let his mind completely buckle under the Wave and decided to let it take him wherever it felt rather than continue to be frightened of it. Oh, he was frightened. That much was certain with the sobbing that he occasionally would do as he walked. Uncertain why he was crying, before smiling again at the wondrous painting that he would create.
One would only hope that the Eleven would not drop any of his supplies that he gave her.
Reply
She looked down at the supplies she was holding. Arms and feet, severed cleanly and still bleeding at the stumps. She cringed at the sight of them, wanting for a second to throw them away, but if these were his supplies as an artist... he must have the same style as Master Saori. Still, she couldn't help but to grimace and look away.
"The only color you need is red?"
Reply
"Red, red?" He tilted his head slightly, then stopped because it felt like something was snapping out of place and it would roll onto the ground if he did not hold his head right where it was. Ah, dear. No one can touch my head right now or it is going to snap off.
"Yes, I could make a mural in red." Clovis turned with his head still tilted, pointing at her yet again. "It's a good shade. You are promoted! Aren't you happy?"
Reply
While she was thinking about it, something warm and wet slid down her arms and dripped heavily onto her foot. Rin shuddered again, feeling the severed limbs in her arms getting colder by the second.
"Well, since I'm promoted, you can carry your own supplies. This is just too gross, I'm sorry."
She stepped up to him to shove the bleeding hands and feet into his own arms.
Reply
At the very least, he couldn't scream because what could roll was running about the ground. Clovis pointed at her before grabbing his head to set it back on his shoulders, making a few whining noises as soon as it was properly situated. "My head. My poor head. It's all dirty now from touching this ground."
A pause to glare at her. "You're demoted for that."
