[The television snow clears at first, showing a young boy with black wild hair in a red hoodie and jeans standing on a hillside, hands in his pockets, staring up into the night sky. There are tons and tons of planets in the sky, so many it’s hard to count. They seem like moons to an earthling, but this is how his sky normally looks to him. Or used to. It’s stunning. Beautiful!]
[He doesn’t look at the screen at first, just stands there, looking up into the night sky. The image holds for a moment, a flicker of a ghost of a man flashes over the screen (his father) followed by others (his mother and siblings).]
[Claudio jerked suddenly, looking down into bloody hands. His hoodie is actually very blue, not red, and now is dripping in blood...]
He killed them. He killed them all. She let it happen too. You were off doing nothing and they were killed. You were off pretending some girl loved you and they were all killed! My sisters and little brother. My parents killed them all. They killed them all then went off to ( ... )

[at the moment. That was because Chuck already distracted him and he stepped inside somewhere... also, he's waiting for the 'are you doing something stupid' comment, thus he said that first...]

[and he would be too. He wasn't too far away, and cutting through buildings was easy. He didn't want to go though, but... he needed to go somewhere.]
[When he hit the property, he snuck in through a wall like normal, and just stood there, staring at nothing, invisible... a shiver as he realized he didn't wear his jacket and that it was warmer inside here too.]

Sorry. Shouldn't have gone out. That was stupid but... I'm fine. Just needed to go for a walk is all. But see? I'm fine. [said by lifting both hands out a bit to show he wasn't hurt]
...I'm fine.

[He reaches over to put a hand on his back. Something warm and solid rather than whatever that Shadow has kicked up.]
Let's go get you something warm to eat.
[Not an option.]

Not sure I can really eat anything at the moment. I shouldn't have come. Shouldn't have gone out. Chuck said it was stupid too. It was.

[Gently.]
Probably shouldn't have gone out, no. But what's done is done, and in this case there is no harm.
