The others had said something, but the Shadow Akechi's words are all that ring in his ears.
You aren't human.
Why did he ever ever let himself be stupid enough to think he was anything but the Nyx Avatar. A Shadow. A monster. The words make the room too small, his lungs too small, his skin too small.
"I don't know." When he speaks his voice is inhuman, something shifting until the Shadow Akechi is small enough to fit under his heel. And the ant had thought it was fit to threaten Thanatos with death. How puny. "I don't know and I'm not like you!" Thanatos smacks the Shadow to get it away from him.
cw: panic attack/body horror
