Nighttime always invited in the ill thoughts. Even if such pondering were under the brilliant moon, the darkness surrounding beings brought negativity into waves. Chirps and squeaks tore out paranoia. Instincts ran high due to the lowered visibility - more so that a branch's crack made someone whip their head fast and in alarm than in the daylight. With the musty humidity smell collecting in swarms, the island, with its little forestry and moaning ocean brushes against the beach, sported a tingling feeling of animal behaviors clashing - inside humans or else wise.

Sand and dirt were being brushed, shifting in the ground, not being kicked up into the air. Feet dragged against the floor, not bothering to make complete steps. Further in the forest, bug cries and low chirps prattled on in a cacophony that startled hearts into a frenzy. Without a wind to drop a visit on the island, the trees did not pitch in with the other organisms; they merely stood in as giants, huddled together to become the collective term of a 'forest'. White light radiating from a crater-full floating rock shimmered on the murky-looking ocean swishing on the beach. Low waves sucked in and spat back out sand in equal amounts; there was nothing out of the ordinary going on with the boundaries between land and water.

Whatever grass feet came across was crunched under cold shoes. Two District 7 siblings did not blend in with the environment thanks to the ever-beaming moon. They traversed over various land types, watching the forest grow in size from their approaching. Nil had her usual scowl plastered on while Jaeman was frowning and had stuck his hands into his pants pockets, twitching his lips every once in a while. Sometimes his eyes wandered towards his sister, his brows knit up. Without reciprocating the look, the girl sighed and spoke. "Stop looking at me like that. For fuck's sake, they're all a bunch of assholes. They can all fuck themselves for all I care."

Jaeman took out his right hand and let his arm swing at his side. He opened his mouth but then closed, instead forcing a side frown while peering into the forest. Neither moved. Croaking from within made the two District 7 people stay at their spot, though their eyes would flicker to one another in an urging sort of way. After much time passed, the male emitted another sigh and turned his entire body towards Nil. "Whatever happens to them will come for us eventually. It wasn't right for us to leave everyone like that - especially our cousin. Who knows... who knows who's going to kill who next."

Glare. "Fuck it. Fuck it all. They pissed me off, and now you're pissing me off too. If you want to deal with that shit, then go ahead. Get pissed on while you're at it. I'm not."

Sigh. "I'll always be here for you, Sis. Just... let's calm down and think this through later, 'kay? What harm can there be in having more of us? We have murder on our hands; it's not the smartest thing to split up like this..."

Nil turned her head to the ocean, snorting out hot air. "Whatever."
