Whoever Lav interacts with is suddenly put in danger by whatever situation Lav fears most.
It's felt... forced, recently. Lav doesn't go out as much as he used to. He's been getting worse and worse. Everything that got better just slowly crumbled in front of him. Andrew ruined everything. He got what he wanted, and it felt horrible. But... there's nothing to do but move on.
The only issue is that he can't. So many bad places in such a short span of time and he can't get his mind off of it. He hasn't even been using his journal nearly as much as he normally does in these scenarios. He wants to keep it to himself because it felt like too much. Too much to tell anyone, too much to handle.
Plus, he doesn't need the help at the moment. It's not like he deserved it anyways.
...He promised Crow it wasn't a case of "not deserving it", and he knows he does deserve help. Or, at the very least, people think he's deserving of it. But the more this goes on, the more he spirals, the worse it gets.
But he doesn't want to tell anyone. They're all going to grow tired of it. Grow weary. There'll be a point where they don't want to deal with you or your problems anymore. And - even if he hates to admit it - he doesn't even 100% know if he's safe. He doesn't know if they still care. He doesn't know if they want him here.
He knows this is because Ender keeps feeding him these insecurities. He knows it's because of his own stupid paranoia that he feels like this. But he can't stop it.
...that's enough talk about that. But he looked tired. Looked as if he's... been through a lot.
So nothing new, really.
He sat on a bench, just... hoping that today would be slightly more normal.
He's unaware of what's coming for him.

*Venom was walking on the boardwalk, he's very skinny again, like deathly skinny, you can almost see his ribcage. He seems unfazed by this though, looking at the ground as he walked*
He hadn't immediately turned around, although hearing footsteps and trying to subtly figure out who it was behind him. When he saw it was Venom, he smiled a little, waving. Hasn't noticed anything wrong just yet.
*Venom looked up, smiling at Lav, waving back, his clothes were a lot looser than before, he went closer to Lav*
Hey Lav
He was... Very worried, giving him a peck on the cheek.
Are you alright? I haven't seen you in a while...
Not sure how to ask about it in a way that doesn't sound... Too blatant.
Oh I'm fine!
*He brushed off the question, blushing a bit*
It's good to see you.. how've you been?
,,he'll have to bring it up later. He isn't sure how to handle it right now, he'll have to think.
Uh- I've been alright!
Besides the fact that more shitty things happened to him, but it seems like Venom has enough on his plate anyways. Probably wouldn't help to have an entire explanation on everything that happened to Lav as well.
Has anythin happened since I've seen you last?
Um.. not really..
*He said shrugging, he was a terrible lier, seems they were both hiding things from each other*
...hey, what's on your min...d...?
He almost felt his heart fall out of his chest, looking ahead before whipping his head behind him. Amber was growing, rushing and chasing him. He couldn't run, stuck in place as it reached out and tried to swallow him whole. Lav was frozen in place. He was breathing heavily just by the sight of it, and before he knew it he was already starting to sob. It hadn't even touched him yet. It almost teased him. Let him have his moment before ripping his freedom away.
He was muttering illegible words throughout this small breakdown, looking down at his hands with them only being blocks of amber starting to creep up his arms. He's trying to get it off, smashing his hands against the bench but all his effort is put in vain.
Venom would be witnessing this. He'd also be experiencing something similar, unable to move and seeing the amber fast approaching.
*Venom looked at the Amber frightened, he was shaking, his mind racing, not sure what to do, frozen in place and scared about what's going on*
