[On June 30th, Aunamee throws a corpse into the Arcade before slamming the door shut, its hinges rattling with the force. He breathes quickly, greedily despite his lack of lungs, fighting the urge to step inside himself. He could do it; he could visit Elias at the source, tearing the wires from his scrawny form, plunging the knife into the being who brought him to this godforsaken world.
But he shouldn't.
He tears Makoto's arcade card down the middle before shoving it in his pocket. Her backpack, discarded and bloody, leaves an imprint in his mind, and before he knows it, he's upending it, letting the laptop fall out onto the blood-soaked asphalt below.
He opens it with his foot. The screen lights up.]
Are you there, Elias? You miserable little gnat.
[He doesn't wait for an answer. Instead, he stomps down on the laptop, the screen crunching under his weight.]
