Layers Of Suffering (Tokoyami BNHA)

Tormented

~Tokoyami~

Tokoyami looked at his long lost classmate in disbelief.

"Belenus? I... I thought..." He couldn't get the words out. He was overwhelmed with emotions as he was brought back to his past with his friend.

He remembered striking his only friend with a mortal wound. An awfully gory one too.

"Shhhh... I don't care what you think." He whispered with lust.

~Belenus~

Belenus studied the boy thoroughly. Tokoyami sat in a slanted position. His back arching downwards, his bird head facing the floor.

If he were not tied, he would've fallen face-first onto the concrete floor. However, his crimson red eyes did not waver away from him. The spotlight from above was blindingly bright, shining down at the teen's body. The white light illuminating even the black hero costume he was wearing.

His cape was taken off and placed on a nearby chair to prevent his Quirk from hiding beneath them. Dark shadow could still very well ambush him underneath the cape if he wasn't careful. The blinding light made his face disappear into the shadow he was casting. His eyes seemed to glow in the dark as he stared daggers at him.

Looking at the crow teen's helpless state, it pleasured him, almost in an erotic way. It reminded him of how his parents looked when they were on the floor; helpless and unmoving.

Now Tokoyami was alive and kicking, his life in his hands. He can't wait to begin.

~Tokoyami~

Tokoyami first thought was regret, although it was short-lived.

"I am sorry."

He stated simply, his emotions building up.

"I am truly sorry that I involved myself with you. I thought you shared similar pain with me. I never wanted to put you into har-" his voice cracked. Tears started to accumulate in his eyes. He looked down and closed his eyes to prevent their escape.

When he opened his eyes again to look at the villain, he stopped feeling remorseful. What greeted him were a pair of blank eyes, devoid of emotion, as if any memory of Tokoyami did not affect him at all.

"Do you even remember me at all?"

~Belenus~

Belenus vaguely remembers Tokoyami, it's not that his memories were taken away, it's his emotions. However, memories are usually remembered when it is associated with an emotion. When most of his emotions are taken away, he cannot recall exactly what happened.

However, he does still associate Tokoyami as an enemy. He still feels jealous somehow. That's because even if most of the emotions are taken away, there must still be some fraction of it left behind. When you empty out a bucket, there are still water droplets coated within the sides of the bucket. Even when you stand up of the chair, your skin cells remain on the chair as you leave.
