She had to pull away from the dead body before her, covering her mouth in shock. It was something else, watching someone die right before your eyes. Yet... it vitalized her; she felt a surge of energy come forth from the corpse, penetrating her chest and making her much more awake than she had been. Aelia blinked her tear-clouded eyes, her mind going back to what that brunette told her. Could she really have Ahri's powers? Could this man have been killed at the hands of some monster... or someone like her? Her eyes went to the man who had punched the floor, wanting to comfort him, but she couldn't bring herself to touch his shoulder. 

Aelia's head snapped back when she felt someone hand her a business card. She saw it lie face down on the floor, but she did not move to pick it up. Her body began to quiver as she noticed that something was occurring near the bathrooms, but she did not look back-- it was as if she was glued to her spot, her fingers digging into her shorts as she stared at the blood staining the ground. The tears returned as she shook violently, her eyes closing to block out the horrible sight in front of her. Confusion and fear were clouding her mind, and she could not think straight.

Her gaze instead settled on Erick, who was offering his place as a haven for those who did not feel safe. [b][color=92278f]"My parents have been away on vacation for a while,"[/color][/b] she explained, her voice soft. It was true that she probably should stay at home, like that employee said, but she wanted company. [b][color=92278f]"I'm going to be alone for the next two weeks... if I keep staying by myself, I'll probably end up like that poor man."[/color][/b]
