alex isn’t able to help himself. he's been able to suppress his thirst for a while, knowing that cutting down on hunting makes jiho feel safe and hye happy, but he’s pushed his limits for too long. far too long. his thirst burns past the point of safety, for both himself and whatever soul he comes across. the victim is some poor co-ed he picks up at a party, just a guy who doesn’t know any better. who’s too drunk to do anything but cry out as alex pinned him to the wall and drank. he hadn't meant to kill him. and when he turns and sees jiho standing there, staring... well, that isn’t supposed to happen either.
"jiho, wait!" alex chases after him the second the other bolted, taking his bat form so he could go faster, get ahead of him and cut him off. he switches back as soon as he's ahead, dropping down to the ground and holding his arms out, trying to stop the other in his tracks. "jiho, please, you weren't supposed to see that. i-i can explain." can he explain to a mortal what it's like to be so thirsty that you can’t help but kill?
