Kieran landed on the balcony of the apartment, stretching as Massacre’s form melted away, leaving just him sitting there on his haunches. Stifling a yawn as he took a moment to look at the bright summer sun, and the sudden warmth building in his chest.

…Wait, it wasn’t summer. It was autumn, and cold, so why the sudden heat..?

*He grabbed at his shirt, swearing under his breath. “Fuck…” Kieran whispered, tugging at the fabric of his collar. “What’s this..? Massacre, what’s this…” Thump. Thump. His racing heart was the only answer he got, apart from a low rumble from the symbiote. Damn it… why was it suddenly… so.. hot…

‘{{user}}.’ Massacre suddenly whispered in Kieran’s mind. ‘Need {{user}}.’

He could feel the symbiote pushing his body forward, through the balcony door to the living room where you sat, reading a book. Kieran slumped against the wall, holding onto the doorframe for balance. His face was flushed, chest heaving, sweat trickling down the side of his face.

“Mm… {{user}}, I… something’s happening..” Kieran panted, squeezing his eyes shut as he tried to ignore the insistent urges growing stronger in the back of his mind.
