Life Support [Luka + Shintaro]
Luka stood, trembling in front of the door to his cabin. She couldn’t take it anymore. The pain. The guilt. The scent of blood in her own cabin. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t be alone anymore. And so, like an idiot, she’d begged someone to take her in. And now she stood at the door to that someone’s cabin. Shintaro had been kind to her in the past. He’d continue to be so. Luka understood that.
The lock clicked. The knob turned. And Luka found herself bathed in the light of the cabin. Her clothes were stained with dried blood - brown and stiff. Splotches remained on her face. Her hands were covered with it. Luka gazed up at Shintaro, momentarily unable to speak as her eyes met his own. She looked so tiny and broken, standing in that doorway. “…Promise you won’t be scared.”
He had been beyond shocked when Luka had told him that she had killed someone, and seeing her messages over monotwitter? Unbelievable. He was worried, she normally didn't act like this, at all. He checked he messenger, and saw one message:
"Can you let me in?"
He quickly got off of his bed, and unlocked the door. He turned the knob, and opened the door. Shintaro very nearly gasped, but he kept his shock hidden. She was covered in blood, and she looked close to tears, like she could break at the slightest touch. Promise you won't be scared.. To be honest, he wasn't scared that she killed someone, he was more frightened of how she was feeling. She obviously was holding back tears, and she shook like a windblown leaf. "You're shaking.." he murmured, pulling off his jacket, and draping it around her shoulders, leading her inside the cabin.
