10th-13th: All around the tower

It is very strange for Romeo to not feel enthusiasm for anything. Usually he woke up early, ran around getting ready and tidying his part of the room before setting out with Pinocchio to find food and adventure. Even when bad things happened, which they often did he was active and positive, trying to help and change things and make things better for those he could.

But one morning he woke up and didn't want to get out of bed, it wasn't the first time it had ever happened. He had felt like this in the days after Alfredo had died, until the Black Brothers had made him stand up.

He sighed and forced himself out of bed looking at the rash on his hands. "What is this Pinocchio?" He sounded scared. Pinocchio just nuzzled his hands.

He went on as usual, trying to fight the feeling of being sad and not wanting to do anything. Often stopping at corners to punch the air, desperately trying to keep his spirits up. It got harder and harder to do so though as the days went on and the rash slowly changed to lesions that burst every so often.

14th and 15th: Around the tower

Within a few days Romeo didn't have any hope left. They were all going to die here in this tower and it was stupid to think otherwise. He was sullen to anyone who came near him and sometimes just felt an overwhelming urge to tell them that they were wrong. Nothing was going to be alright, there was no way they could get out of this situation and there was no point in trying.

At first he just told anyone he encountered, but soon he realised everyone needed to know and felt the urge to seak people out, his friends, those he had helped before, to tell them how he had been wrong, about how everything was helpless and there was no point anymore.

16th onwards: Around the tower

Romeo's eyes had changed and so had his body. He had four sets of white feathered wings set into his back. Big and heavy, far too big and heavy for a boy of Romeo's height and they weighed him down, dragging along the floor when he walked.

He accepted them though, such things had happened before and would happen again. Because the administrators and those that sought to hurt them had all the power. He continued to wander the tower, looking for those that had to have their hope destroyed. Seeking to wipe it all out, crush it beneath his feet and replace it with despair.

The way things should be.
