Aiden froze when he saw the red on the floor, the smell hitting him and making his heart start to race. Blood. A real, tangible proof that what he had seen had indeed happened. He was so lost for a moment that he could barely feel the panic coming in waves from his companions, as well as Kuro's confusion. He shook his head after a moment, as if trying to wake up from a bad dream, frowning as Annalise asked the janitor what had happened. As the man answered, Aiden tried to get a read on his feelings.<br/><br/>There was nothing out of the ordinary. No fear, no confusion, only... It was difficult to read, actually. It was the stillness of boredom, although Aiden couldn't say for sure if the janitor was indeed bored or only doing a task that he did every day. Although either option was equally weird. There was no way he would be acting so calm, unless he was being a victim of an illusion or if he was being somehow controlled.<br/><br/>He looked briefly to his other companions, before he focused on the janitor once again, forcing feelings of panic and fear towards him. If it didn't work, then Aiden would know for sure he was being controlled by something. If it did work... Well, it could mean it was only a illusion, or it could simply mean he had managed to break the control. Either way, it was worth a try.
