Lilu did his best to smile his thanks for Ryo, feigning something much better than how he actually felt, but it came across a little strained. The smile didn't quite reach his eyes, which flicked over to where Dark was stomping around. He felt guilty for what he'd done. Not for the destruction of the town, but for upsetting Dark. The other's comment had set something off kilter inside of him, sparking memories of his childhood that he'd tried hard to forget. He looked to Scyler, his hand finding his partner's, drawing an odd glance from the Scoliopendra. It had been a long time since they'd had any contact of this kind. Scyler gave Lilu a questioning look that shifted into a gentle, comforting smile when he felt how Lilu was shuddering slightly.<br/><br/>Memories flashed through Lilu's mind as he grasped for Scyler's hand for comfort. Images of handcuffs, leashes, restraints, and cages slamming themselves into his psyche, causing him to tremble harder. Tears began to prickle at his eyes as more memories flooded back. The sensation of being unable to move, feeling helpless as people peered in at him in one of the hundreds of market stalls in the second circle caused his shivering to become more noticeable. Memories of person after person he'd been sold to, only to be used as a servant, treated like dirt, hit when he did something that displeased his master flowed through his brain. His wings twitched and started to open as Scyler gripped his hand harder, pulling the Incubus closer to him in an attempt to try to subtly pull him out of his own mind.<br/>Lilu's wings began to spread open and tears poured down his face as the screams of people burning alive and other begging for their lives filled his ears. He could practically feel the fire at his fingertips, the heat licking at his body as images of igniting anything in sight overtook his mind. His final jailbreak filled his mind, the screams of the dying members of the last residence to ever buy him, the burning heat rising from the flames below him, the smell of smoke and burning flesh, the taste of ash that had worked its way into his mouth, and the sight of complete chaos and destruction of the inferno he'd caused in his darkest hour, his final escape, the last time he'd been owned by anybody other than himself.<br/>Without warning Lilu took off into the air, yanking his hand away from his partner's. He was a flurry of black feathers and hot tears as he ascended rapidly into the sky before vanishing into the trees surrounding them. His mind was a mess, and he was bawling by now, in a state of utter mental chaos. The only thing he knew right now was that he wanted to be away from everybody. He simply wanted to disappear, leave everybody behind for a while until he could get himself under control. He landed in a fork in a tree, his face immediately going into his hands as he sobbed.
