Science Lesson.

"Kaiden I'm not so sure about this-"

Kaiden looked over as he put plastic gloves on.

"Why not?"

"I mean- Y'know..This is kinda like dissecting a human." Mark said nervously.

"Fiiiine. If you wanna be such a pussy then I can do it myself" Kaiden smiled, teasing Mark.

"Wh-"

Mark looked offended.

"I'm not pussy! I can easily dissect this guy! Watch!"

He quickly put on a pair of gloves.

"Fine then, here."

He handed him a scalpel.

"Go for what you know." Kaiden smiled.

Mark got nervous, after all he didn't know what he was doing.

"I-"

"That's what I thought."

Kaiden took the scalpel away, and made a small incision on its throat.

That was..Kinda all Mark wanted to see.

After a while, Kaiden came out of his room, surprisingly not as covered in blood as Mark imagined.

He threw away everything he used.

"Uuughhh..I needa nap."

"What? You tired from doing that?"

"No duh, Mark. It took me like..Two hours to get what I needed."

Mark giggled, getting more comfortable on the couch.

"I'll be in my room..Don't bother me unless I'm choking."

"I won't, I won't."

Kaiden walked to his bedroom, closing the door and immediately falling on his bed.

He grabbed his pillow and yanked the blankets over himself.

"I can't believe you'd support a guy like that."

"He's my friend! I can't just leave him to die! And you have no place speaking to me like that, Lieutenant."

"He EATS people, Kaiden."

"B-But—"

"It's best you don't talk. I'm this close to getting physical."

"You're- you fuckin sicko! All because I'm trying to help my friend!"

"I feel like my reasoning is humane."

"So you'd just- try and hurt a kid?! Are you fucking stupid?!"

"Don't talk to me like that."

"I'll talk to you however the fuck I want to! You aren't going to hurt me nor my friend! You can suck my dick!"

"Get your finger out of my face, Kaiden."

"Stay away from my fuckin friend! You haven't done ANYTHING to help this town except for self pity yourself!"

"Kaiden."

"Don't fucking- Stop trying to talk to me about things I know, I'm not letting you—"

"Ghh—! Get off of me! Stop!"

"Maybe this'll teach you to stop being such a smartass, yeah?"

"Hey-! Wait! N-No I'm sorry! Stop! STOP-! Get off!—"

"..Nnnh..Mmnhhh.."

Kaiden opened his eyes, some of his hair in his face.

He looked to his bedside table, a glass of water was there.

"Kaiden..? Are you alright?"

And so was Mark.

"..What the fuck? What happened?"

"You were having a nightmare I think, are you okay?"

"..Yeah I'm..Im fine."

They sat in silence for a little while.

"Sounded horrible."

"..I think it..Was horrible. I dunno. I don't..Recall..It."

Kaiden lied.

"Do you remember what it was about?"

"..No."

He lied once more.

They kept silent for a couple minutes.

"Hey, what's that?"

"What's what?"

"That scar. On your neck? I never noticed it."

"..Really? It's a pretty big scar."

"I looks like it hurt..How'd you get it?"

"Maybe this'll teach you to stop being such a smartass, yeah?"

"I don't..Remember."

He lied.
