[The moment Kanaya lets the words out, Eridan scrambles away. He has to go past Karkat to do so, but he doesn't care. He's running the moment his feet touch the stairs, scarf trailing after him messily. He's not even sure where he's going except that there's this... this feeling, this residue of Karkat inside his skull and it makes him ill to the tips of his horns. He doesn't stop running, even as he runs out of air, because if he stops he's liable to start gagging and throwing up.

Fuck, fuck, he's so fucked.]
