[His breakdown on Sunday took a lot out of him, and yet Soma still lingered in his cell for the next couple of days. Only coming out at night Monday helped him to avoid everyone for a little while, but at the same time it made him feel like even more of a skulking monster. Tuesday... well, therapy was weird. Yes, he'd kept his head down and tried not to let anybody see his eyes. Blame it on a migraine, light sensitivity, whatever worked.
The only reason he's out now is that the cravings are worse. Monday and Tuesday he'd picked up a blood pack, but both times he'd put it back untouched. Now... now his fangs are out and his guts feel twisted and sore. Everything in his brain is tinged red, but mercifully he's not berserk enough to attack.
Yet.
He steps into the infirmary and freezes when he sees Noctis, the crimson glow in his eyes brightening at the scent of fresh blood. He quickly ducks his head, torn between trying to casually go to the fridge for a blood pack (how will he possibly explain that?) and just leaving without it, risking that he'll frenzy later.
But... Noctis would understand, right? He'd accept Soma, he was sympathetic before. Why is he afraid? What if Leon already told everyone what he is? That's the smart thing to do, really, warn everyone that there was a second vampire hidden in their midst all along. Leon can be kind of thick-headed at times, but he's not stupid enough to keep a threat hidden from everyone.]
