Lili had seen Ryoki's post on the network a little while ago. She thought about leaving him a message, but decided against it. What was there to say? Arguing over it wouldn't help, Ryoki had never been open to reason, and he certainly wouldn't be now.

She hadn't forgotten about it when she ran into him on the street. Holding something that was on fire. This would end well.

After a deep breath, she called out to him. "Ryoki? What are you doing?"

[halfcow]

Ryoki stumbled through the streets, and while he seemed to walk aimlessly, he just wanted to reach the desert. Dragging along several Molotov cocktails - he didn't even remember to bring a weapon, but he didn't particularly miss it - he would just burn his way there. Or burn with it.

At first he didn't even bother to listen to Lili, but his eyes noticed her and he turned his head. He didn't smile, nor laughed like he'd usually do. This wasn't funny. This wasn't funny at all.

"Burning this city down." he gave one step closer to her "Do you want to burn with it?"

[donttelldaddy]

She tensed. Lili had spent more than enough time with him to realize that his behavior was unusual, even moreso than it always was. There was a twinge of fear, but she pushed it back. She had told him before that he should come to her to satisfy his bloodlust, rather than do anything stupid. Maybe she could help, providing he hadn't already caused any serious damage.

"No, I don't. I'll fight you without the fire, if you like."

[halfcow]

If this had been blood-lust, fighting Lili would have been enough. Unfortunately, Ryoki wasn't even sure what would satisfy him at the moment. He just wanted to leave and all he saw was fire and there was just too much in his head and his chest really hurt and he had no idea why.

And he felt scared. Something deep inside him was terrifying him and no matter how much he destroyed in order to forget that fear, it didn't leave.

"Don't stand in my way." Ryoki's hand squeezed the bottled filled with gasoline and a rag inside. In his other hand he had a lighter, playing with it, but not yet approaching the flame of the clothe he had stuck inside the bottle.

[donttelldaddy]

"In the way of what?," Lili asked him, not actually expecting to get a straight answer. She took a few steps closer, trying to smile and maintain eye contact, but the end result looked more uncomfortable than soothing. "I think you should put that down."

[halfcow]

The bull looked around. He had already set fire to a couple of things - and a car -, but that's not what he was looking for. At a corner, he had left few bottles.

Walking around with bottles filled with gasoline - even if they were same size as a Coca-cola bottle - was hard. He was carrying them with his shirt and in his baggy pants, but when he wanted to throw one, he had to put the rest down.

"...I need a bag." to carry the bottles. That probably wasn't what Lili wanted to hear.

Ryoki looked back at the girl when he remembered she said something. There was no way he was going to put that down. "Is it that scary? I was supposed to die like this. Burn down, blow up to pieces. Nothing left. Ashes and guts. Like her. There was so much blood. We burn down, why was there blood?" It was incredibly hard to explain his thoughts.

[donttelldaddy]

It took her a moment to reply, spent trying to decode what he was saying.

"You're always talking like that. The way you're supposed to die. It's like you have your heart set on giving up. You need to stop it, it's nonsense."

[halfcow]

Ryoki's eyes widen at her words, and surprise was quickly replaced with anger. "You know shit. Like fuck you'd ever understand! No one fucking can! You're just some fucking human in your fucking little world!!"

"Fuck you!!" and Ryoki flicked the lighter, setting the Molotov bomb on fire. He only gave one step back to gain balance and threw it. Right at her.

[donttelldaddy]

Lili tried to dodge it, but she wasn't quick enough. The bottle hit her in the shoulder and shattered on impact, soaking her in gasoline and setting her clothes aflame. She shrieked, and her survival instinct kicked in immediately. She ran, not away, but towards him, and leaped to tackle Ryoki to the ground.

[halfcow]

All he saw were flames running to him, and Ryoki's fear became terror and it drowned him right there. It wasn't until Lili tackled him and the bull fell on the floor that Ryoki snapped out of it.

With a groan, he tried to move his legs to kick her off him.

[donttelldaddy]

Gripping Ryoki tightly, Lili rolled them both on the ground to try putting the fire out. She hit him as hard as she could with the pain and the heat wearing her down, which was still pretty hard, considering.

[halfcow]

The bull was recovering from his tiny freak out when he felt pain somewhere in his body. He couldn't even tell, and the only thing he knew right now is that the flames were way too close for comfort.

Ryoki's arm moved, trying to grip at Lili's hair and hoping to tug her away from him.

[donttelldaddy]

Lili rolled off of him with another scream. The fire wasn't completely out, but she wasn't ready to let Ryoki run off just yet. Her leg flew out to deliver a kick.

[halfcow]

The kick hit Ryoki's stomach and it was strong enough to shove him away from her. Coughing in pain, the bull took a deep breathe and used his hand to rub the sore area.

Though not for long, because the bull flung himself at her after, fist aiming to Lili's face.

[donttelldaddy]

She stumbled backwards and fell to her knees, blood dripping from her nose where Ryoki's fist collided into it. The panic suddenly hit her like a train, and the realization that her shoulder was still on fire made her stop charging at him, her hands hurrying to try patting it off.

[halfcow]

"Let me help you with that." Ryoki said that coldly, as he approached the girl again. His leg raised and he swung it to hit Lili's shoulder this time.
