[Murder Counter: Reset (CW: Gore, Suffering, Death)]
[There's a sound Shido's never heard before. A sort of hiss, kind of like water on a sizzling pan. It happens so quickly, he almost misses it.
Aiden's Shadow turns charcoal black, smoke rising out of him for only a brief second before he evaporates into nothing.
There's dead silence from everyone, who are staring. And then, horrified reactions.]
Aiden...
Fuck... fuck!
No...
[Shido is silent. His breath is wavering. And then, as fast as he can, he exits the Palace.
Aiden, where are you?
There's no response, for a few seconds. Shido's blood is turning cold. And then:
In my room.
When he gets to the room, he's panting heavily, face pale.]
Hey... [Aiden is calm. Too calm.]
Is everyone else okay?
[Shido can't speak. After a moment, he manages a nod.
Aiden smiles, relieved.]
Good...
Aiden... [Shido's breath shakes. His... vision is turning blurry? Shit...] I'm sorry.
No, it's... [He takes a breath to steady himself, and nods, a little jerkily.] It's okay.
This isn't— [Shido cuts himself off abruptly.] This isn't... remotely okay.
[Aiden's brow is furrowed... he swallows hard, and starts reaching for Shido.]
... Masayoshi, I—
[He freezes, his pupils dilating, and lurches forward in the same moment that Shido moves forward, clutching onto his chest.]
I.. l...
[He's choking, gagging, convulsing. Shido wraps his arms around him tightly as tears stream down his face.]
I'm here... I'm here, Aiden...
..lov...
[He's groaning with pain, gurgling, and then—
A sickening squishing noise. He goes limp in Shido's arms.
Shido breathes raggedly for a moment... two moments...
And then lets out a scream.]
