At Taavi's prompting, Abel silently acquiesced and headed with him towards the couch. He hesitated before it though, and rather than sit as he was bid he turned and started to pace instead. Anxious, nervous energy had built up so quickly, too quickly, and he couldn't just sit. He had to do something, but what? What could he do now? Nothing, nothing at all -- nothing except pace anxiously around his apartment, his distress growing exponentially with every passing second. "Ohhh ********, s**t, why did I do that?"

"I don't know what she was expecting," he said, throwing up his hands in his agitation. What had she expected? He licked his dry lips thoughtfully; too bad his whole mouth was suddenly dry too. "She probably expected me to get upset, or maybe to yell or something? Then she could've done.. whatever it is she wanted to do, berate or belittle me or whatever else, I don't know. She obviously didn't expect me to straight up punch her in the face," he went on with a helpless shrug. "********, I didn't expect me to punch her in the face, but she just..." His fingers flexed restlessly as he continued his pacing, his gaze focused on the floor.
Once they realized Alyssa was gone, his various pokemon came out from wherever they'd been hiding. Or some of them, at any rate; Sonia and Isaac trotted out from Abel's bedroom, worry and confusion written plainly on their faces. What had happened?

"Yeah, I don't really... talk a whole lot about myself, I guess," he admitted as he leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees so he could tent his fingers. Even if he wasn't pacing, his body wouldn't let him hold too still. "Uh." A frown crossed his face as he tried to figure out a good place to start. "So you've probably heard me talk about my parents, or my brother or my sister. Or my nieces," the blond added, "but my sister Alexandra - she's five years older than me - she has two girls, my nieces, Callista and Camilla. Then there's me, then my brother Aaron is five years younger than me; he still lives at home with our parents. But my parents had four kids," he went on, then paused again as he tried to put his thoughts together, his expression a mixture of sadness and wistfulness. "My kid sister Amelia was five years younger than Aaron. She was kidnapped and murdered ten years ago," the blond admitted; his hands were on the move again, this time to clasp and unclasp each other. "She was six years old."

"No, it's..." Was it okay? No it wasn't, it never was; they all missed her still and they always would, but it had been ten years. Nothing would hurt her anymore, and the one person who had would never hurt anyone else again, he'd made damn sure of that. It was the least he could do. "Don't worry about it," he said instead as he reached up to curl a hand around one of Taavi's arms. "But yeah, that's why. Not because she brought it up, but because of what she said after that -- that's why I hit her. I just... ********," he interrupted himself as he slumped forward a bit to put his face in his hands, "I hit her and now I don't.. What am I going to do? What is she going to do? I don't..." Everything was so terrible, so ******** up, and it was all his fault. He had no one to blame but himself. What was he going to do?
