[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 415px; color: black; font-size: 8pt; line-height:115%; text-align: justify;"]Darling could be found outside of their bedroom, shivering in the chilling breeze that blew through their hair. They had layered clothes on, complete with a dark poncho and long black gloves. The outfit was kind of grunge-y and not like their typical bright attire, however they were learning to get over it. They couldn't image what the weather was going to be like in the winter. Growing up where summer temperatures regularly reached over 110 degrees, they were very unused to cold weather. They shuddered at the thought.
Lost in their mind, they didn't even realize a butterfly fluttering around them until it landed on their nose. They blinked in surprise -- how could this tiny insect survive in this cold? They gently reached a finger out and the colorful creature climbed onto it. They inspected it, a smile blooming across their features. "Hiya there, pal." It twitched its antennae, as if responding. This caused a giggle from Darling. They brought their other hand to cup around the butterfly, as if protecting it from the biting wind, then...
Then they ripped its wings off.
The thing squirmed and tried effortlessly to fly away, only to die a slow, painful death. Darling's smile remained. They dropped the body of the bug and carefully pressed the blue and black painted wings into a book nestled in their carrier bag. They sighed, content, and reeled back on their heels, stretching their arms above their head.

[align=center][div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:13px;"]Armitage had a soft spot for all animals, both big and small, and while bugs weren't technically 'animals', he still had a rather big heart for them. It was almost interesting how much more sympathy he had for animals and small creatures than humans, and maybe it would be a problem someday, but for now he was able to pass off being sympathetic enough that other people didn't think he was a sociopath - well, besides Johannes.
Hux had been following the butterfly along with soft steps, his blue eyes a calm green blue as he watched the other flutter along. When it came to Darling, he tensed up slightly, his eyes widening quickly. He didn't really trust Darling as far as he could throw them, and he was still under the impression that the other was crazy. As he watched silently, he gasped softly when the other ripped its wings off. He stalked over in a menacing way, his thin form tensed up like a smake, eyes narrowed as he watched Darling put the wings in their little book, "Why did you do that? That poor thing was just flying around, not doing anything to anyone."

and I lie awake and miss you. 」
The conversation drew his attention mostly because he recognized Hux' voice--and was a bit curious as to what could be raising it this time. He always seemed upset about something. The dictator had been taking a nap outside, propped in a chair on the side wall of the building. He was bundled in his coat and the chill air was simply refreshing. He got up, a bit vexed at the noise, walking around the lodge with a bit of a frown. "Is something wrong?" He asked, yawning a bit.
Sinking fast,
the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue
with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
