[ This--this is awful. Mabel's tears turn red and she can do nothing but watch through blood-blurred eyes as Miku and Hector convulse in pain, writhing in their own growing pools of blood.
She's sobbing and retching up blood, voice catching and hitching like she can hardly breathe between the horror and the blood she's choking up. She presses her hands to her face, only drenching them in red, and keens from the pain suddenly intensifying from her other wounds as they begin to pump blood too.
Despite how she's falling apart, she keeps crawling, closer and closer to Miku, and pressing a hand against his head. ]
M-Miku? Are you...Miku? Miku, please!!
[ she already knows Miku is dead, technically. But touching the utterly still body only solidifies it for her and makes it true in her heart. She collapses on top of Miku and continues her heaving sobs, choking up to the ceiling: ]
Just trying to be employee of the month! Remember to check out our next pet adoption day.
[ A few things happen at the same time.
From the hallway outside of the apartment, they can hear noise. It sounds like a large crowd of people are stomping up the stairs, all making as much noise as possible. It shouldn't be hard to figure out where they're headed.
And then, on the other side of the room, a door appears. It definitely wasn't there before, but they will all get the sense that it's there for them.
Tanaka doesn't speak again, and Miku and Hector do not move. ]
[Sounds....sounds.....there's sounds. People are coming. Mandricardo raises his head, raising a hand to wipe away his eyes, blearily staring at the exit to the apartment. And then...that door.]
[No. No, they can't die here, can they? He can barely think, looking over the rest, bloody as bloody can be.]
Um.
[He coughs, weakly, spitting out more blood, before shakily trying to straighten himself. His legs feel like jelly.]
[I can't die here.]
We...have to go. We have to go.
[His hand is absolutely useless, here but he'll offer his arm, at least to Ichinose who is nearby. And....Hector.]
[Is she....really just going to be left here?]
[He shakes his head, softly. This terrible, terrible so-called field trip. If he could burn a pet store down, he could.]
Come on, girl.
[And he's scooping her up with his other hand, before turning to the other two.]
You can...lean on me...i-if you want...but we have to go. They're coming.
[He'll wait for them to move, but he'll help Ichinose to walk over to the door if she takes his arm.]
[ it's the sound that rouses ichiro from near unconsciousness. he thinks, for a long moment, laying there, that he's going to die here. in his last couple moments, he thinks first of wiwaldi, of winter dorm, and then... of jiro and saburo. he thinks of them alone. terrified. he remembers the agony of being unable to move when samatoki went to ruin his life. get up. he'd said. get up.
his eyes snap open like the fucking terminator, and he forces himself to take a breath. it's heaving, and rattling, and terrible, and he uses his grip on the floor to push himself up to a standing position. every single motion hurts - everything tugs a new injury, sends fresh blood down his back, through the bandages now ripped on his arm, the tourniquet loose. he's a fucking mess.
he cannot die here.
ichiro pushes himself to one knee, and then the other, and rises. on trembling legs, he pushes himself up, and looks back at the others - at miku, at mabel. ]
... Come on. [ he says. it's barely audible over the noise, but he offers mabel his free hand to help her up. ]
This is how we got back.. the first time. Come on. Bring... you can bring him too.
[ but with that, he's gotta get moving, bleeding pretty much everywhere. he wipes his mouth, spits blood on the floor, and with a final heave, starts moving towards the doorway, too. ]

[For a moment, all Ichinose does is stare at the puddle of blood rapidly forming around them. There is no reaction from her part to the commotion of the crowd making its way to their apartment.
But—
The moment passes, and she closes her eyes.]
... Alright.
[Her voice is scratchy. Slightly gurgling from the blood forcing its way up her throat. She wipes the blood away from her eyes, smearing it all over her face. And while it does not stop more blood from replacing it within seconds, it does clear her vision a little. Accepting Mandricardo's hand, she pushes herself up to her feet — and glances back at Mabel, her expression now placid.]
Mabel-chan, let's get back before everyone else worries themselves sick over you.
[The littlelest fall dormie...
Blood dripping on the floor, she makes sure Mabel is ready to go before she starts making her way to the doorway. Let's go, y'all.]
She'll use Ichinose as a balancing stand while she forces herself back up on her one good leg, bringing Miku up with her. She gives Miku one last snuggle, even through the bleeding, and then just. starts hobbling along with the others.
what else is there to say, now? What else is there to do? Mabel doesn't even care that much if the people on the other end of the door catch her or not--but if everyone else is going to go through that door, then she will too, she supposes. ]
[ The crowd gets louder, and louder, and bursts through the doors right as they open it to step through. A paper that seemed to have been jammed in it starts to flutter to the ground, so someone should probably grab that.
When they're all on the other side, they'll find themselves back in the woods on campus that's close to the dorms. In their hands are the bodies of Hector and Miku. They're free to do what they want with them, and they can also keep their collar and leashes if they want to. Any other pet supplies they might have still had on them are also still with them, and Ichiro's mic is back to just being a mic. Any weapon that they picked up on the trip will also still be them, but they'll all be rendered completely useless; they're basically just props now, and easily breakable if they're not careful.
