Karkat had never been this angry in his entire life. He punched a wall and screamed at the top of his lungs. Thin red lines of blood ran down his fist. Karkat didn´t care at all. He ran headfirst into the opposite wall and punched it again and again. Blood streamed from both of his fists now.

Sollux, who heard all the commotion, opened the door to Karkat´s respiteblock and stared at him.

- What the fuck ith your problem? Sollux asked. He looked irritated and blue and red sparks surrounded his eyes. Karkat glared at him. Then he sat down, back leaning against the wall. He pulled his legs close to his body and wrapped his arms around them.

- I´m so fucking angry, he said. There was no anger left in his voice, just exhuastion. Sollux smirked.

- Thath new, he said with sarcasm. Karkat didn´t respond. Sollux amusement faded quickly and was replaced by worry. He walked over to Karkat and sat down next to him. Karkat looked at him as if he had been insulted.

- Are…are you okay? Sollux asked.

- Do I look okay to you? Karkat snapped. Sollux decided not to answer that. He looked down and saw Karkat´s bleeding hands.

- You´re hurt…

Sollux reached out his hand to help.

- Don´t touch me! Karkat yelled and backed away. Sollux sighed.

- Okay, okay!

They both sat there for a while. Karkat looked at Sollux.

- Sorry, he said. Sollux looked at him.

- Ith fine.

Sollux eyes started to spark. His psionics grabbed Karkat´s hands and pulled them closer to him. Karkat glared at him but he remained quiet. Sollux inspected Karkat´s hands.

- Ouch, he mumbled as he saw the wounds.
