[006] psychotic break
[OOC: dated to just after the morning news - around breakfast time]
[the video post engages, showing Claire's face and upper body, the video feed shaking slightly as the NV moves with Claire's trembling hands. he's shaking all over, shoulders hunching slightly, breathing ragged. after a moment, his expression goes from slightly alarmed, wide-eyed, to a sort of seething, furious rage, hot and angry]
DAISUKE AURORA! ANSWER ME! This isn't funny, you stupid bastard! ANSWER ME NOW!!!
[he falls silent for a few moments, his breathing ragged and angry, before his expression falters, moving from anger to a momentary look of crippling, desolate grief beore settling on a blank sort of fear. as if he's shut down, afraid.
his ragged breathing hitches a few times, and then he makes a few hard, voicelessly sobbing breaths that turn quickly into tiny throaty chuckles. the low laughter quickly escalates into high-pitched, jarring, unpleasant, and desperately afraid laughter that sounds like it's tearing his throat, and his eyes remain blank, his head tilting slightly to the side as if he can't quite control it.
it takes several long moments before the laughter fades out into nothing but ragged breathing again, and then he speaks in a tiny, broken voice]
Everyone keeps dying...
[he falls silent, his eyes staring blankly above and to the right of the NV, focusing on nothing]
