The more Niha spoke, the more Elliot clenched his teeth. His rage continued to build more and more, yellow sparks danced across his body as white ones spurted from the invisible circle. His body twitched and trembled as though Elliot was becoming too wild to restrain until, finally, about halfway through his speech, Elliot screamed, his yellow aura flaring up full force as the teen managed to tap his foot ((strength x4 = 120)).

Even though it was just a tap, the increased impact blasted a hole in the floor breaking the circle ((if it was there)) and simultaneously launched the still glowing Elliot up to the ceiling while sending out a shockwave knocking Niha off balance and disrupting the circle ((if it was an energy circle or simply in the air)). Once Niha caught his balance and looked up, he'd see the teen glaring directly at him with golden, wolf-like eyes and fangs peeking out from his between his lips as his hair bristled a bit to appear like fur. Then, that afterimage would slowly fade revealing another hole in the ceiling ((Speed x3 = 120)) as Niha feels a clawed hand close around his neck and lift him effortlessly into the air. He'll then hear an almost beastly growl escape his lips as the Crescent Moon glared up at his "friend".

"You really think I don't know that," the teen began in a surprisingly calm voice, but make no mistake; his rage and blood lust at the moment was so intense that it was quickly filling the room terrifying the little chocobo as he continued to glare at the mage slowly squeezing his neck tighter.

"Do you REALLY THINK I don't understand? That it's NOT Yume's fault and that I need to apologize? NO! I DO KNOW!!! Never think that I'm the type of **** that DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HE'S WRONG!!!" A wolf's growl escapes his lips as he yells at Niha. Ventus and Aqua enter the room through opposing walls and flinch at the sight of Elliot, they look at each other in a panic as though they don't know what to do as Elliot continues to speak.

"BUT!!! Before you spit your biased, self-righteous BULLSHIT at me, put yourself in my shoes: all my life I've been nothing but a PLAYTHING for women. NONE OF THEM took me seriously as a potential boyfriend NONE! To them, I was merely a DOLL to be dressed in frilly clothing and paraded throughout the town to show off! Could you, with your so-called "infinite wisdom" possibly even BEGIN to comprehend what that kind of life is like!?!? To fall in love AGAIN and AGAIN only to have your heart stepped on, trampled, and tossed aside like it doesn't matter!?!? It makes you JADED! It makes you DISTRUSTING! It makes it HARD TO TRUST and even HARDER TO FALL IN LOVE!!! And then finally, when I THINK I can trust again... When I THINK I can fall in love... the one that I put my trust in VANISHES INTO THIN AIR!!!"

At this point, a single tear rolled down enraged cheeks. The teen blinked as he feels it and uses his free hand to wipe it away staring at it as his grip slightly loosens. Finally, the enraged teen tossed the mage aside like a rag doll onto his couch, which rocked upon his landing. And he turned away as more tears began to stream down his cheeks. "... I thought I was beginning to like her, so of course I was worried... I searched all over for her, and it was also one of my reasons to get stronger as I was prepared to do whatever I needed to to rescue her... every day, every minute, every second I was in the dark, it hurt more and more as I tried to figure out who, what, when, where, and why... and then the letter came... and all my questions were answered; she was just like the rest. Then, my heart began to hurt for different reasons; disbelief, betrayal, even more heartbreak... all those old feelings came rushing back. And I had no choice but to move on or stay stuck on her forever. And that's not my style..."

The harsh feelings the teen was exuding before began to calm along with his golden aura as his wolf-like features slowly began to fade. Then, the teen looked back over his shoulder with eyes that were hurt, almost as though pleading for help as the old pain from years of bullying finally began to seep through; Elliot's emotional armor had finally begun to crack. "Another old love of mine has returned, but she's with my cousin right now, leaving me to deal with a LOT of confusing feelings. And now, during the time when I'm most confused, she returns and you REALLY expect me to remain calm? How UNREASONABLE can you be!?!?"

Ventus and Aqua float over to the teen with worried looks on their faces. The Crescent Moon merely glances up at them and shakes his head before taking slow, almost lifeless steps over to Georgie petting him until he calmed down and then plucked him up and set him on his shoulder. After that he sighed, walking over to the door and opening it before looking back at Niha. "I'm sorry for being like this... and I'm sorry for how I acted towards Yume... but what I need right now is time to recover... so please, just... leave me alone...," Elliot said weakly, almost pleadingly, then, he walked out the door letting it close behind him as he headed towards his favorite spot to meditate.
