Sakurako actually remarked on his theater-related blabbering, which Thomas really hadn’t expected. Maybe she hadn’t picked up on his demeanor, or more likely had tried to ignore it. She did do as he asked, though, and moved around the tree to face him. “Yeah, no. Um, thank you. Really.” He was wrong...

Thomas laughed at Sakurako’s remark, though he did have to wonder if she’d made it for his benefit or her own. Probably a bit of both. “You sure? I feel like I could rock that look. Be the envy of the whole island.” Fuck, now his lower jaw was shaking. He needed to get over the nerves. He needed to ...

Back at the beach, back when it all might’ve still been some fucked up dream, Thomas had met three people who he really hadn’t known well beforehand. Still, he had decided to stick with them, because they needed him, whether they knew it or not. That’s what he’d believed, anyway. Desiree was shot an...

Justin caught Thomas off guard by stepping out into the open, gun still at the ready. Even so, Thomas still held his own weapon in hand. The chance remained right there before him. He could still kill Justin and he probably wouldn’t even expect it. So, why aren’t your arms moving? Where’s the rage? ...

Justin was just spouting some bullshit about how he had to kill Sean and just wouldn’t stop trying to pass the buck on how him killing an unarmed classmate somehow wasn’t that bad, acting like he actually gave a shit how painful it was when Sean died, like he knew that what he’d done hadn’t been so ...

Hello all. So, I would deeply appreciate a hero as I'd really like to continue writing in V7 and I still have some space to cover with Thomas as a character that I'd like to get through before he bites the big one. I'm not seeking death ideas at this time.

Justin started shouting a bunch of threats that he would, in all likelihood, follow through on. But Sakurako still remained in the open, only moving forward and glancing down to see the truth of things with her own eyes. Still, though, She didn’t get back, something that both he and Justin had wante...

Thomas managed to duck back behind the wall in time to avoid the next spray of bullets from Justin. Some debris was blasted free, though, Thomas needing to bury his face in his knees to avoid the damage. The wall served as better cover than a table, but that didn’t mean it was bulletproof. Enough da...

Justin’s response was a bit of a garbled mess of feeling sorry for himself. He wasn’t acting deliberate about any of this, wasn’t determined to fight Thomas, but doing nothing to really talk his own way out. The attitude only made Thomas angrier. Justin had just killed an unarmed and injured classma...

Movement was slow carefully. It was all Thomas could do now. To call out or stay still invited an ambush, made him just another victim, right? However, one could only be so careful, and when he finally did catch sight of the killer in his midst, it came down to a matter of reflexes. Thomas was just ...

Sean didn’t answer. What did that mean? It meant that something was very wrong. Sakurako asked to be boosted up to the roof, a move that Thomas was not entirely comfortable with, since it would put her out of sight where he couldn’t make sure she was ok, but this was not the time to argue and she ra...

Just as things seemed to have settled for a moment, Thomas heard some unsettling cry from nearby. Sakurako quickly suggested something along the lines of sean being sick? Which was not at all the train of thought that sent a shiver down Thomas’s spine. He quickly rose to his feet and helped her up a...

Soon after Sean started off to handle some business, Thomas felt Sakurako resting her back against his. He smiled just a bit. The boy felt himself relax, something he’d not quite managed since the morning. Of course, she still let him have it, but in a gentle sort of way, a way that let him not feel...

As Zach finally got a clue and ran off like he should have from the beginning, Thomas finally got the chance to wipe away his tears on his forearm. It wasn’t over though. Looking back to Sean, bloody and crying, Thomas knew that it was far from over. Sean just kept asking him why, pleading like Thom...

Zach didn’t run off like Thomas had hoped, nor did he break down crying in another pitiful display. No, Zach went on the attack, whipping out that weapon of his and swinging it at Thomas. Before he could properly react, Thomas felt something slam into him, pushing him out of the way of the blade and...
