Taste of You

Rover LCBF Executive Manager
...Huh?
That's weird. I fell asleep on my desk. There's drool all over the paper I was writing on, and my pen is on the floor.
What was I doing again? Some kind of paperwork, though I can't seem to remember what exactly it was for.
Just as I was about to pick up from where I left of, my ears picked up something from outside.
Who could be up at this hour, anyway?

You understand the consequences of what you are about to do.
Trần Tước LCBF Sinner #2
How could I not be worried for someone I know is starving before me?
...Trần Tước was talking to somebody. This late...I could only wonder why that was the case.
My hands press against the door, but my eyes were fighting it. This was too tiring. I really should go back to bed.
Trần Tước LCBF Sinner #2
Go on, then. This is what you need.
Trần Tước LCBF Sinner #2
I shall give my body to prove myself right.
...What did he say? What was he trying to prove here?
I couldn't tell.
Trần Tước was always an enigma to me. Proclaiming himself a genius, not letting his emotions guide him and me. There wasn't much I could do when it came to him, not even...

Hmg...
(CHHRRRRRRRKKKK!!!!)
Trần Tước LCBF Sinner #2
Ghh...!!!
(Crunch...crunch...)
...Not even in a dire situation like this.
The sounds of something being torn could be heard even from here, and it snapped me back awake. A hand on the doorknob and I open it, slowly.
I needed to hurry. Why wasn't I acting quicker?
Rover LCBF Executive Manager
Trần Tước?
Rover LCBF Executive Manager
Is everything...okay...?
In the distance, I saw him.
His blank eyes gazing at my own, glaring, as if I had disturbed an important moment.
Yet all I could think about was his shoulder down to his arm, being pulled and chewed on...by a beast.

Samson...?
Samson LCOP Executive Manager
Mhgh...Hrrgh...
This sight before me, I couldn't believe with my own two eyes. Trần Tước had offered himself as a meal to the Manager of the Outskirts.
My chest aches at the mere thought of having to feel that devoted pain.
Trần Tước LCBF Sinner #2
There, there. It'll be alright...I know it.
There were tears in his eyes, but his voice was as calm as ever.
I don't understand it. My fellow Manager pins the body down, and feasts hungrily.
For a moment, he looks up at me, scales glowing a bright purple. There was fear in him. An apology.
Samson LCOP Executive Manager
I'm sorry, Rover.
Samson LCOP Executive Manager
I was just so...so...hungry...
...And because of that, I lost every ounce of fear I never even thought I had.
This was really one way to end my night, cleaning up another mess.
I wonder what it means for me that it was almost endearing to watch.
