Setting: Their room
Format: prose
Summary: Signless knows there's only one thing to do now - he has to kill his moirail.
Warnings: Violence, angst and character death

It had been growing more and more clear to him over the last week or so. Psiioniic may or may not have betrayed him - he didn't know. But what he did know was that there was really only one way to deal with the situation. He had to kill Psiioniic.

Maybe then, he would come back, recovered. Maybe this wasn't even Psiioniic at all, but a simulacrum and the real Psiioniic would appear if the fake one were killed. A dozen different scenarios had played themselves out in his head, and he knew he just had to try it, and see what happened.

He got up and approached the sleeping troll, drawing his sickles from his specibus.

"Everything's fine Psiioniic," Suzaku lied fealing an overwhelming urge to cry. He didn't though, he hadn't cried since Euphemia died, he remembered a hospital room and a similar lie. Everything's going to be alright

The moment passed and Suzaku was once again covered in corpses, calling out to him, screaming at him, begging him for help. The only way to help was to kill Psiioniic.

Something, something deep down inside him told him that was wrong, that Psiioniic was his friend. He remembered vagualy protecting him, he was his friend. But now... now he was a monster and he had to die.

He looked at Signless who was stood with his sickles. "It has to be done." Screaming filled his head again, but this time they seemed to be agreeing.

Signless looked into those blank, white eyes, and for a moment he loathed what he saw. He looked away, grimacing, and met Suzaku's eyes. It has to be done, he said.

For a moment, he was surprised, and his crimson eyes widened. Suzaku had come to the same conclusion?

He gave a short, solemn nod.

Yes, it has to be done.

Then he turned back to Psiioniic and raised a sickle. "Close your eyes, Psi. It'll be over in a second."

"What? Wait, no," Ψiioniic said, scrambling back and nearly falling out of the sleeping rectangle on the other side before he got his feet under him. "SS, what are you doing? Suzaku?"

SS had never raised a hand to him, never. Why was he aggressing now? It didn't make any sense!

"Ith this because of what you were thaying the other day?" he asked frantically, hands up as he backed away from the other two. He was all but helpless at the moment and he knew it. He only thanked the gods that Signless wasn't above him in the hemospectrum, so he didn't have to fight the compulsion to obey him on top of everything else.

Suzaku followed eyes set, he had to do this. Screams echoed in his ears and the corpses climbed higher. His hands curled into fists; this monster was trying to stop them. If they let it go the tower would be in danger. "Do as he says Psi." He reached out to grab the troll, to make him stay still.

"All of the subjects have to die," Signless said seriously. "I just realized, you know... it's the only way to fix things." His expression creased with pain for a moment, but he continued to advance. "I'm trying to make this easy for you, Psi. I don't want you to suffer anymore!"
