Sora woke up to the sound of his alarm. Strangely enough, it was 4 in the morning and he had barely gotten any sleep. He then remembered everything from last night, and rushed to Luca's room. He prayed that Luca was up and ok.

He opened the door and Luca was asleep. He noticed that Killing Eve was playing on the TV and there was a bowl of melted Ice Cream with the TV remote next to it.

He was glad, because that meant Luca had been up. And he knew that he loved Killing Eve, so it couldn't be anyone else, and nobody else had been in his room, so he came to that conclusion and sighed in relief.

Before he left the room, he was startled by a weak, raspy voice from behind him.

"What are you....doing in h..here?..."

He turned around and it was Luca, looking tired and weak. Sora walked over to him and got on his knees to talk to him.

"Are you okay? I was just checking on you." He said.

"What?...I don't...remember anything.."

Sora sighed. Of course he forgot! He was sleeping for hours and it's only 4 AM...and he had drank fourteen cups of alcohol, which, the thought of it worried him even more. But he knew he had done it out of anger, and felt guilty for knowing this was his fault.

He left the room without saying another word and went back to sleep.

Soon after, it was 4:27 AM. Sora was awaken by footsteps in the hallway near Charli's room. He assumed she was up, so he tried to go to sleep.

He woke up to the same sounds, then came to the conclusion that Charli was definitely not up. He peeked out his room and walked closer to her room. When he peeked in the room, he was shocked to see Luca holding a bloody knife.

He grabbed a pencil and paper, sat down, wrote something on it, and talked to himself.

"Does she deserve to die?"

"Should I kill her right now? *giggles*.."

He then got up and stood over Charli as she slept peacefully. He grabbed the knife and pressed it on her back and started carving something into it. Sora watched in horror and felt sick to his stomach. She began moving in her sleep, and Luca flinched and stopped.

He looked at his hands covered in blood, and turned to the mirror behind him. He looked at himself, shocked, tears stinging his eyes, and ran out of the room.

He then ran into Sora, who had seen what he did.

"AAH!-- ...Sora?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP?" He whisper-shouted, in a panic from being caught.

"Luca...what the HELL was that?! Are you INSANE?!? I COULD CALL THE COPS ON YOU RIGHT NOW!" He yelped frantically.

"SSSSHHH! You're gonna wake someone up!" Luca sternly commanded. He got up close to Sora and gently touched his chin. He blushed, he had never been this close to Luca before.

Their eyes met. Sora stared into them, deeply. They gave off a soft, deep red glow, but shined like pearls. But Sora knew the sinister intentions of Luca. He tried not to fall into his deep eyes, but could hardly resist.

Luca tapped him and he snapped out of it, while blushing profusely. Then quickly realized it wasn't ok, so he told him off.

"Luca. You can't do that. That's literally illegal! You could end up in jail for that!" Sora exclaimed.

"Sora! I don't care about what I do. Just listen to me. Come here."

Luca grabbed his hand and dragged him to his room.

"Sora, let's just talk in here..."

He jolted his eyes around the room to see an entire walk-in closet that he hadn't even noticed. His eyes widened and he turned to Luca.

"What's in there? Let me guess, MURDER WEAPONS." Sora yelled.

"What?! SORA, NO!"

Sora swung the door open and the closet had a few items inside. A gray stool, a shelf with pictures, cameras, and knives on them, and a noose covered in blood.

"Sora...listen to me. I-I can explain--"

Luca could hardly breathe as he tried to explain why he had those things in there. He trembled in his words and became shaky. He looked up to Sora, who looked shocked.

"LUCA! WHAT IS THIS?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ONLY A LITTLE CRAZY BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH! DID YOU TRY TO HANG SOMEONE?!?"

He looked down at the floor and broke down crying.

"H-how could you say those things when you don't even know me?..You never cared about me until I passed out at that stupid party!!..." He sniffed, pointing out the room.

"Get out." He ordered.

"Luca. Wait."

"I said GET OUT." He screamed, ensuring he wanted him out.

"...Luca. Did you try to.."

"NO, SORA. I ALREADY TOLD YOU I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT I DO. I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE. YOU DON'T KNOW ME SO JUST SHUT UP! LEAVE MY ROOM!"

"LUCA. I WAS ASKING YOU DID YOU TRY TO--"

"STOP NOW."

"TRY TO..."

"STOP! JUST STOP NOW!!!"

"........"

"HANG YOURSELF?!?"

...

There was utter silence in the room. Luca fixated his eyes on Sora and just said nothing. He grabbed him and pushed him out, then grabbed a knife.

"Let this be your warning not to EVER say anything like that again..." He warned Sora as he grabbed his arm and began to cut it.

Sora yelped in pain, but nobody could hear his screams for help.

Luca stopped cutting his arm, and let go of it in a panic. He quickly grabbed 3 pill bottles and a water bottle and swallowed all the pills.

"Just...go. I'm sorry...I--"

He stopped speaking. He just shut his door and locked it. Sora, still stunned by what happened, just stood there while holding on to his arm.

*So...he isn't doing it on purpose?... I'm so stupid. Why did I even lash out like that?..*

*I...can't stay up any longer.*

Sora walked to his room, still holding onto his arm. He quickly wrapped it up and went to sleep. He just wished all of this was some fever dream and he would wake up, and it would all be gone.
