The events of the Blood Moon, as with almost everything, seemed to have had little to no effect on Chou despite what he’d been privy to and the murder he’d needed to commit. His actions had made the most logical sense at the time and there was nothing else that could’ve been done. In the end he simply chose to no longer think about it and stayed awake at home till dawn broke and had summoned a kaleidoscope of butterflies flutter over his head as he finally fell into a dreamless sleep.
Come the morning he decided it would be best to follow up and ensure others had survived the full night as well but also decided it would be best for him on almost no sleep to simply walk the woods instead. He packed a backpack, dressed, bade his mother a quick farewell and set off. Chou was getting close to the edge of town when he was given pause by recognising a woman from the night before. Now faced directly with a person Chou closed his eyes a moment before approaching and deciding to speak to her.
“You’re one of the woman who helped distract The Clave so we could get the children out of the Greyson manner.” he explained by way of introduction, “I take it you managed the rest of the evening then?”
