*Poltergeist's left eye (The one that's completely black) is fake, that eye isn't actually there it's just the shadows filling in space.

There was blood on the walls and the floor. All over him, the glass cup on his nightstand, the lamp, his dresser. 'No. No please no no no. No, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. No what's happening? What's going on?'

Kai looked at his hands, panicking. What was going on? Hades had asked for him to come. He had reached out and asked for him to follow. He took it, he took his hand, and he... He exploded or something.

'GAHHH!!' Kai screamed. Not only had he just killed someone but it hurt. It hurt so bad. His arms, his hands, they hurt. He wanted it to stop. 'Manticore... Chronos... Poltergeist... Anyone, help me.' He begged. It hurt so bad.

Poltergesit - At the mention of his name - shadowed into Kai's room immediately. 'Chisaki!'

'Control it. Control it. Control it. You have to control it!' Kai yelled at himself in his head. As much as he wanted Poltergeist's help he didn't want to kill him. 'Kill... You'll kill him you'll kill him. Don't touch. Stay away from him.' He got up and went to the end of the room Poltergeist wasn't on. 'Sta-Stay away. I don't want... I don't want to kill you.'

*Poltergeist's right eye widened ever so slightly. What had happened here? 'What's going-'

'I killed him. I killed him. I killed him. Hades... Hades I killed him. I killed Hades.' He breathed. No... He couldn't. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe.

Tears fell from his eyes, he was terrified. He was so scared. He was a murderer. He just killed someone.

'Hey, it's okay. Just relax, breathe, and tell me what happened. Okay?'

Kai tried breathing, he tried to calm down
He tried, he tried. 'I can't. I can't.'

'Yes, you can. Come on you got this.' Poltergeist made sure to close the distance between them slowly. Fast enough Kai would know he was getting closer so he wouldn't get scared, but still slow enough that Kai would know he wasn't trying to hurt him.

Kai's been here around five years now, there were certain triggers he had. His first name, people coming at him too fast, people using their powers around him. All things Poltergeist and Manticore had to be careful to avoid.

'Hey, relax.' He smiled, putting a hand on Kai's shoulder. 'It's okay, I'm right here. Take a deep breath, and tell me what happened.'

Kai did as he was told, he took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and exhaled. He tried calming down to slow his racing heartbeat. 'Calm down calm down calm down.'

Poltergeist hugged him, 'Hey, relax. I'm right here. Just calm yourself, I'm right here.'

'He reached out... I took his hand and Hades... He exploded. It looked like his blood vessels ruptured or something.'

Poltergeist accidentally gasped. He meant to suppress that... 'Overhaul... It's gotten stronger.'
