Eversleeping town slowly loads in and reveals Aesop to be standing near the old Geisha house. He quickly sets up his coffin whilst keeping an eye on his surroundings. Brows furrowed when one of the teammates ping that the hunter changed targets. He quickly moves away from his current spot, heading towards the graveyard area. Seeing a machine there, somewhat decoded, he took over it. After everything that occured during his arrival at the manor, he found it difficult to understand others here. Fighting endlessly in games just to win, seemed off to him and he tried leaving only to always return where he started out at. His role simply to aid others or distract the hunter long enough to secure a win. Ominous footsteps slowly creep on up on Aesop as he's halfway through decoding. Gray eyes widened immediately when his machine is hit by a familiar sword. "Joseph.." He backs away immediately, even if they were on a certain level of tension with one another. It seems he's sought out personally. Aesop alerts the others, keeping Joseph occupied until a small mishap left him with a stab wound. His movements are slower and blood seeps through his shirt. He eventually stops, eyeing Joseph and the distance between them before climbing onto the tram to escape. The camera world soon disappears shortly after he gets off the tram and he releases a shaky breath, wondering if anyone is nearby.
