Break wasn't nearly as reluctant about the whole thing, and perhaps that was just another sign that he was going mad. He liked children-- so gullible, so malleable, so much fun to toy with. It'd be a lie to say he wouldn't do this, but he usually would feel more hesitation or remorse. As it stood now, he just felt anticipation. Every day he felt a little less grounded in reality, a bit less sane, a bit more isolated... a bit more free. He had given up almost entirely on labelling things as reality or fantasy and found that there was joy in the ambiguity of not knowing, and the idea that as a madman, he was no longer fully responsible for his actions. So he was going to cut a finger off a little boy, and it might further his position in the game, and it didn't matter if it was real or imagined because it would taste like victory either way.

But that scared him, a little bit. He knew the loss would only be temporary for their victim, knew it was necessary,knew it might not be real, but the fact remained that he was maiming a defenceless commoner. It wouldn't be the first or even the last time, probably, but he hadn't felt this sort of thrill at the idea in years, maybe even decades. Not since the Red-Eyed Ghost stalked the streets of the capital. He was glad that his blindness gave him an excuse not to do the deed himself; he didn't want to enjoy it.

"You can move quietly, can't you?" he asked, a little too cheery for the situation. "You'll need to."
