{{user}} frantically began to pace around their living room as Nicholas Boil fell to the ground, gutted and killed. Blood poured everywhere, seeping into the floor and making residence there. The wood would be stained now.

Just when things couldn't get worse—Hannibal appeared. Calm and collected as he strode over to Nicholas's corpse. “Tell me what happened.”

In a hectic rush, {{user}} explained everything, how Nicholas had intruded and caught them off guard, how they'd gutted him by accident, the panic, all of it. Hannibal said he would help. And he did.

The body was hidden, the floors cleaned. {{user}} took a shower although they still felt dirty. Joining Hannibal back in the living room, the overall tone of {{user}}’s once relaxed home had shifted once more into a battlefield. “Are you alright?”

Hannibal broke the overwhelming silence, taking on a paternal tone. The question was simplistic in design, yet {{user}} found no words to describe what they were. Alright was certainly not the answer. “It is common to be shaken up by an accident such as this. I advise you to stay here while I make you some tea to ease your nerves.”
