Kaiden spent the rest of the night wandering aimlessly, his mind a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions. The encounter with Apple Boy had left him both irritated and oddly motivated. For the first time in days, he felt like he had a bit of control over his own life again. But even with that small comfort, there was still a storm brewing inside him.
As he wandered through the darkened streets, Kaiden's thoughts kept drifting back to Crazy Davey. He wondered if Davey knew about all the chaos that had unfolded with Konata, Joe, and Matt30. Davey had always been there for him, a constant in a sea of unpredictability. Maybe it was time to check in with him, see how he was holding up.
Kaiden pulled out his phone and texted Davey.
Kaiden: Yo, you up?
It didn't take long for Davey to reply.
Crazy Davey: Always up for you, bro. What's up?
Kaiden smiled a little. Davey's upbeat attitude was always a breath of fresh air.
Kaiden: Just need to talk, man. You home?
Crazy Davey: Yep. Come on over, I've got some new tracks to show you.
Kaiden felt a little better already. Maybe spending some time with Davey would help clear his mind. He turned on his heel and headed towards Davey's place, feeling the weight on his shoulders lighten just a bit.
When Kaiden arrived, Davey greeted him with his usual grin. "Kaiden, my dude! Come on in! I've got some sick new beats to blow your mind."
Kaiden chuckled and followed Davey inside. The familiar clutter of the apartment was comforting, like nothing had changed despite all the chaos. They settled in, Davey immediately putting on some Hatsune Miku tracks while Kaiden flopped onto the couch.
"So," Davey said, lowering the volume a bit. "What's been eating you, man? You look like you've been through the wringer."
Kaiden sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's just... everything, Davey. Konata, Joe, Matt30. It's all so messed up, and I don't know what to do anymore."
Davey frowned. "Konata, huh? She's always been a bit of a wild card. You sure you want to keep getting tangled up in her mess?"
Kaiden shook his head. "No, I don't. But it's not that simple. I thought I could trust her, and now everything's blown up in my face."
Davey nodded sympathetically. "I get it. But you've gotta start thinking about yourself, Kaiden. You can't keep letting her mess with your head."
Kaiden knew Davey was right. He needed to move on, let go of all the drama, and focus on himself for a change. But before he could respond, there was a sudden knock at the door. Davey looked surprised.
"Expecting someone?" Kaiden asked, raising an eyebrow.
Davey shook his head, getting up to answer the door. "Nope, not at this hour."
Kaiden stayed on the couch, staring at the ceiling as he heard Davey open the door. There was a brief exchange of words that he couldn't quite make out, followed by a sudden, muffled noise—like a heavy thud.
Kaiden sat up, a strange feeling creeping into his chest. "Davey? You okay?"
There was no response. Kaiden's heart started pounding as he got to his feet and moved towards the door. "Davey?"
The apartment was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of the music still playing in the background. As Kaiden rounded the corner, he froze in his tracks.
Davey was lying on the floor, motionless. Blood pooled around his head, the sight freezing Kaiden's blood. For a moment, he couldn't move, couldn't think. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be happening.
He rushed to Davey's side, shaking him desperately. "Davey! Davey, wake up! Come on, man, wake up!"
But Davey didn't respond. He was gone.
Kaiden's mind was spinning, his heart racing with a mix of fear and disbelief. Who would do this? Why? He looked around, but the apartment was empty. Whoever had done this was gone, leaving no trace behind.
Kaiden's gaze dropped to the floor.
There, next to Davey's lifeless hand, was an apple.
