Rolling over, Ximen squinted open his eyes to find the source of whoever interrupted his nap. Once he spotted Eon—a newcomer, if he wasn’t mistaken—he grumbled to himself and stood up. Now he was awake, he might as well help Eon with finding a place to sleep. Not everyone could nap anywhere like Ximen could, though even the mutated cheetah had a home of his own.
“Questions, eh? Let’s hear ‘em.” Ximen tilted his head sharply, popping his neck vertebrae and wiggling his jaw to pop that, too. He shifted his paws, popping his toes against the ground.
“Name’s Ximen, by the way.” He tried stifling a yawn, but it overcame him. He blinked and refocused on Eon. “You’ll be more likely to see me active at night. Or in the morning. Sometimes in the afternoon? I sleep a weird schedule.”

UNEXPECTED YET EXPECTED —
— i wanted to hate / i wanted to die / i wanted to see you sacrificed / i had to deal with the fear you gave me / but you fucker never tried to help me / i was jealous and i was scared / nobody ever replaced my pain / to say i’m not evil, to tell I’m not bad / too late, i’m lost in human nature / leave me be / set me free / leave me be / set me free / the hardest thing to me is facing the fear i live / no one can help me now, it’s under my heart / i’ll come to know the living, my demons are inside / i’ll bring them all to light / ———— emerged from the dark I come to life!
