As Shine moved through the house, away from the miserably ineffective students who stood somewhere in a room behind her, she'd begun to idly chew on some of her candy bracelets. The crunching of the candy became progressively more desperate, and she passed through several rooms with her arm pressed to her mouth before she realized she was really hungry, and the candy wasn't fixing it.
Her eyes were glassy and anxious as she passed through another doorway, catching a glimpse of something at the far end of the room. She narrowed her eyes, their faint red glow dimming with the slow tilt of her head.
"Who...are you?" she asked, voice heavy and shaky with tears she tried to hold back. She thought that they could almost be sisters, maybe -- long hair, clawed hands, but the ghoul in front of her was somehow both prettier and hurting her eyes all at once. Nose scrunched, she closed one eye, opened it again to close the other, blinked, and had to squint again to look at her without getting dizzy.
"W...why are you doooing that?" Her question was a desperate whine, like a scareling protesting against their punishment. Maybe she could make her stop.

"Y-you...you know where...home is?" Shine asked, suspicious, shielding her eyes from the glow of the ghoul's...wings? Oh, she had such a pretty shape, but the pretty shape was way too bright and hurting her eyes and--
Her fingers twitched and flexed, her muscles begging her to see if her claws might tear through whatever she was and stop that awful light. She clenched her teeth. No, if this ghoul knew where home was, she had to stay calm.
"I'll...I can come with you, but...um. Can you..." Can she what? How could she ask this? "...stop?"
She couldn't look at her anymore. That feverish feeling was rising, nagging at her, tangling the need to kill it with the need to go home.

"Because you're...aren't you going...?" None of this was making sense, and Shine found herself caring less and less about going home with this ghoul and more about going home in spite of her. The hunger, the need to push on, the desire to rip the awful glow to shreds scraped at the inside of her skull and pounded in her ears.
"N..no, stop being so--" The ghoul moved around her, jumping between sluggish motion and rapid leaps, and her head felt dizzy, and her hands felt heavy, and she didn't care about staying calm anymore. She was too bright, and Shine couldn't even keep her eyes open to get away, to go home, and the light was just going to have to stop.
Wailing in annoyance, she lashed out, claws trying to snatch and tear at anything she could grasp.
Break the light. Embrace the dark. It will be enough. Then you can go home.

"Going home!" Shine snapped. Though they were her words, in her voice, she seemed immediately startled by her answer. She took a stumbling step backward, chest heaving, clearly on the verge of a breakdown. Why did she say that?
She seemed to calm down (albeit briefly) after the peck on her cheek, the tips of her claws gently resting against the place the ghoul's lips had just been. Her eyes, wide with confusion, were fixated on her bright, glitchy shimmer -- until she processed that the awful blinding light was the reason she'd attacked her in the first place.
That awful, awful light. Her thoughts churned and her body was fueled with a disgust she couldn't control, a need for the comfort of darkness again. She cried out, an "ughh!" between gritted teeth, and wrapped her arms around the ghoul, fingers curled, still trying to tear at anything she could sink her claws into.
