When Eric made his way out of school that evening, he was skittish like a mouse and watchful like an owl. Since most students taking that last class continued to take other lessons in the night shift, Eric had to leave on his lonesome. And today, the relatively short walk from the central building to the street felt like a minefield that stretched for miles.

Once he finally got the gate, he let the night's coldness into his lungs as would a drowning man. "Seems she isn't coming for me after all..."

"Oh, but she is."

Eric jerked in fear, but Kasey caught him by the shirt and pinned him to the wall.

"Not such a big boy now, are you?" She smirked after hearing him squeal.

"Y-You..." Eric started to speak.

"My head still hurts, you know? Did you think you could do that to me and just get away with it?"

"You started it!"

Kasey shook him up a bit. "What if I did? You don't just get to stand up to me. Get this into your head, if I want something from you, you give it to me. And..."

At some point during her dialogue, Eric's expression started to change. She realized, frowned, and stopped herself.

"What's with the pretty face, huh?"

Eric thrust his hand up and grasped Kasey's neck. She gagged, losing her grip on his shirt. He started pressing, his eyes lost in a light that wasn't his.

"H-Hold on... We can... Ugh... Aaaagh!"

He wasn't stopping, and Kasey started throwing her hands at him. It didn't do much, but she knocked his glasses off. In response, he got even more pissed and threw her against the wall. She shrieked as that took out the last bit of air she had in her lungs.

"Uuurgh... N-No..."

But Eric kept choking.

"S-Stop it... Please..."

He kept going.

"I... I'm sorry..."

Eric started hesitating, as if human compassion suddenly returned to him.

"I won't... bother you... anymore, so please...!"

He closed his eyes and let suddenly let her go, backing off. Kasey dropped on her butt, back against the wall. She started gasping for air, holding her neck.

Eric stood for a moment in front of her. The adrenaline surging through his body was blending with the terror of what he'd just seen himself do.

"... Why!?" he cried out at Kasey. She rose her bloodshot, scared wide-open eyes at him. "Why do you make me do these things?! Are you into this or something? Are you one of those 'choke me daddy' girls? What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Kasey already felt weak and pained, and after hearing that, she found herself also feeling empty.

"I-I..."

"Get away from me! I don't ever want to see you again!" Eric picked up his glasses and stormed off down the streets.

Kasey then sat where she was, blurred eyes peering into the night, fending off so many thoughts, she could hear static in her head.
