this will never fall into place; (Monday, August 9th, locked to Haruhi)

[seestooclearly]

[and Kiyoshi is sitting at the kitchen table, absently petting Kitten, who is purring in his lap, and sipping tea, dinner mostly untouched in front of him. Also there is a box of sleeping pills on the table, too.]

[Dammit, Kiyoshi.]

...You really shouldn't take those on an empty stomach.

[farewelltopain]

[Running through what's been going on. He's started hearing reports of strange behavior from people, plus these cannibal demons, but he doesn't know what's causing it. Yui's insane, so who knows what that was about? Still...there's something he's missing, and he needs to know what...]

[seestooclearly]

[and after probably about half an hour or so, the noise of the shower running stops. oh everything's normal or so it seems...]

[farewelltopain]

[Unsuspecting!]

[seestooclearly]

[...is that glass breaking?]

[farewelltopain]

Fuck--[GETTING UP TO GO CHECK--]

[seestooclearly]

[and yes, Kiyoshi is kneeling, naked, in the pile of broken glass that used to be the bathroom mirror, his hands bleeding and his eyes frighteningly blank]

[farewelltopain]

...Kiyoshi...[Not. Good not good not good please don't be violent.]

[seestooclearly]

[he doesn't seem to hear you, trembling and drawing in on himself, nails scratching down his wrists harshly, hard enough to draw blood] Why...why won't it all stop... [vague and childlike again]

[farewelltopain]

[Oh goddammit. Haruhi goes down, ignoring the crack of glass breaking more from tiny reflects, and grabs Kiyoshi's hand, keeping him from attacking himself.]

Kiyoshi...Kiyoshi, stop it!

[seestooclearly]

[and going to try to hit Haruhi with his other hand, trying to get him away, why won't he just let everything *stop*, why, and everything's a hazy blur] L-let go of me!

[farewelltopain]

[Goddammit no you totally missed and hit your hand on the sink instead of hitting Haruhi and having it bounce, really.]

I can't do that. [...He can't let this keep going. Got to get in his sleeve for his fan.]

[seestooclearly]

[he is in no state to notice, really, and is going to keep struggling] S-stop it, let go, it hurts, everything hurts, stop it, stop it, let me go- [going to try to hit Haruhi again, and he's getting increasingly violent and unstable]

[farewelltopain]

[sdlkajbfds]

..F...forgive me. [And now he's very carefully trying to summon Raziel so he's not where you're looking and...Hama.]

[seestooclearly]

[and without another sound, Kiyoshi crumples, like a broken, bleeding little doll, in the midst of the glass.]
