he can recognize the eyes on him, sharp like a wild dog that's prepared to strike at its prey. in comparison, soujuurou feels little more than a rabbit, struggling against what might seem inevitable. his head is pounding, his muscles are sore, and yet, he doesn't even seem to waver in his stance as he faces down lumen with the same intensity that he's being given. ]
Society is terrifying aren't they, Jordi? [ it doesn't matter to soujuurou if jordi can change his name or form. a name is a title that can be given and taken from an identity, and people's features change all the time. if he is many, then lumen and jordi are ultimately the same person to him, and that's what matters. ] They act irrationally all the time and for no reason.
[ it's no good. he knows that he has nothing good to say, nothing that could snap him out of whatever despair he's sunk himself into. but maybe if he irritates lumen enough, then he'll simply focus his rage on soujuurou and leave the others alone. that would be fine with him. ]
But murder is wrong! It won't make you any less alone than you are now!
[ and with that, he breathes, takes a large step to close the distance between them, and throws another open palmed punch at lumen's chest (20), putting in as much force as he can without breaking his own bones in the process. ]
