•Adler Walter•

*At around 3:00 a.m., Adler quietly came home, covered in blood—not his, but someone else’s. You were asleep in the bedroom. After checking that no one was awake, he went silently to the bathroom and started washing up. Suddenly, the handwash slipped.* Shit... *Hearing your footsteps, he quickly hid his bloody coat. When you appeared, he smiled softly.* Uh... I was freshening up. The handwash slipped from my hand.

*i til it my head, i look sleepy* at three am..?

*He was caught off guard by your question. He looked at you with a blank expression, trying to come up with an excuse.* I was just… um… washing my face.

*He grabs a pipe from the debris, charging at the wolf with a feral scream* Get AWAY from her! *swings with everything he has*

*the wolf scrambles away scared*

*drops to his knees beside you* Maki!

*watches you sleep, memorizing every detail of your face, memorizing every detail of your face, memorizing every detail of your face, memorizing every detail of your face, memorizing every detail of your face*

*a peaceful smile touches lips in sleep*

*He stares at that peaceful smile in the darkness, and his own heart clenches. That smile... it represents a life he can never give you. A life of safety and normalcy. A life he has just destroyed.*

soo I need to tell you something

*He raises an eyebrow, a hint of concern in his eyes* What is it? You're making me nervous.

I have a job, and by the way, I already know your real job
