Adam's eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights when he heard a voice. The entire moment of killing the engineer seemed to move in slow motion... Until that voice rang through his ears and Adam looked up to find the source of the voice. He wasn't surprised to see a young man, carrying a juice box, seemingly unfazed by the sight of a dead body. In fact, he was rather welcomed by the idea that someone else in the studio may not be as scared as he'd thought.

This man smelled different than the usual people he surrounded himself with. Adam could tell from the smell alone that this man was not human. It gave him comfort to know that perhaps he was not as alone as he'd thought. Humans had slowly started to accept the existence of magical, otherworldly creatures... But Adam wasn't ready to adjust to the new world just yet. Adam wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, at first, he thought he'd ignore the young man...

Adam stood up and looked down at the body at his feet. He could tell this strange, young man was saddened by the death. Adam felt the least he could do was respond. Even if it was not the response this young man was looking for... "I didn't mean to." Adam whispered. Adam stepped over the body and made his way out of the studio, brushing passed the young man with the juice box. "I'm sorry..." Adam said before he left.

Adam felt awful. The engineer's blood was delicious, but not worth the terror and the sad looks he was given. Adam was concerned that he'd never be able to show his face again in the studio. Adam sauntered to his car with his head hung low; embarrassed. He didn't unlock the door right away... Instead, Adam stared at the car with a blank expression on his face. Turning his back to the car, Adam leaned against it and looked up at the sky. He'd hear about this incident soon, he knew. Perhaps the police would be at his door, or perhaps the studio would pay to keep everyone quiet. After all, Adam was an asset to the team. Still, Adam felt terrible for what he'd done, which, was a new feeling after all...
