[color=#6ABAE8]「NIGHTSKY MORTEM — it's a quarter past midnight」
Prestige's death in the first one that he sees. The meeting leaves the young tom near shellshocked. It is something that most children are shielded from seeing until they are older, until they can accept and come to terms with it. Nightsky is a smart boy, a resourceful and curious soul, but he is not a mature one, and the death in front of his eyes hits him harder than he can admit or iterate.
It happen so quickly, from the blur of the lioness' movement and pinning down his mother. His heart lurched in his chest as he watched helplessly, unable to scream out or cry but instead being frozen. When the lightning cracks and kills Prestige, he can't take it - he just can't watch the life drain from someone else, someone that is a clan member, a Roseblood, so he bolts, running away from the meeting like a coward and finding somewhere to hole up. He retreats to his own spot, his little hideaway hidden away from the rest of the clan. He sleeps alone amongst his books and the view of the stars and spends his days in that small room.
He doesn't want his siblings to see him cry. And cry he does - he bawls into his blankets until the tears sting at his eyes and then he cries some more. Nightsky doesn't even know the man that died, but he died for his mother and he died right in front of him. He still can't take it, so he hides away his weakness in the loft of the mansion. There's no way for anyone to enter apart from a small hidden away hole in the wall, big enough for a small domestic feline like Night to squeeze through.
Nobody comes up here anyways, so he's free to bawl and sob and try to come to terms with what's happened alone. He can't... Amren was so cold, Mimi was bound to take it better and Sayonara would be okay, he reasons, but he can't be there to bring them down right? The thought of him disappearing for a couple of days doesn't strike him as something that would make his family worry. He doesn't think about that, he thinks about what a mess they'd find him, how useless they'd find him.
He only emerges three days later because he's starving and thirsty. The water reserves that he keeps there are empty, and he's beginning to hear his stomach growl at night as he stays awake with his thoughts. Thankfully, the room is a room where there are no monsters - Night picked that the room because the stars watch over him and keep him safe. But the kitten tentatively makes his way downstairs, trying to find something to eat before he makes anyone worry.
He's already probably made his family worry, but is that worse than being weak?
