Soft fingerpads run over feathery carpet as Kaminari Denki sits in his dorm at UA, back pressed to the wall.

It's late, and the stars are in the sky. He should be studying, but he can't focus.

He never can.

A sweet melody slips from his lips as he stares up, out the window, fingers already itching to grab the blade from where it lay on the floor, blood dripping from it.

Venom is what comes to mind, for some reason, the blood trickling down his thighs and staining the white rug a deep red. A tantalizing poison, the bite of the knife.

It's strange, he thinks.

How did he end up here?

Just a few months ago, he had been fine.

Liar.

He had been happy.

All they cared about was your stupid job as a phone charger.

Enthusiastic and loud, so excited to become a hero.

That's a lie, too, you knew you couldn't, just like mommy and daddy always said.

He reached for the roll of bandages, fixing himself up as per usual.

Mesmerizing, he thought, the blood. It was pretty, seeping into the cloth.

His stomach growled.

Eat, it told him, I'm hungry.

Kaminari Denki did not feel like eating, so he finished his bandages and laid down on his bed.

Peering up at the ceiling, he watched his vision swim with stars.

Light and pretty, they floated, dancing for him.

Easily and gracefully.

A show made for him.

Specks of light floated down, drifting over his face.

Ethreal glow.

"Get a load of this trainwreck
His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet
But little do we know the stars
Welcome him with open arms
Oh

Time is

Slowly

Tracing his face
But strangely he feels at home in this place"
