[Alhaitham hasn't been here long, though he can't exactly quantify that. As has been a common state for him since Tsuruno and Robby's party, his ability to measure the time is compromised. It's like entering in and out of a fugue state, losing track of himself to find his feet have been dragging him towards the university. There is the urge. He pushes against it and turns around, again and again.
But eventually that just doesn't work. So here he is, disoriented among the animatronic sounds and the flashing lights that all feel too intense. It doesn't help. It might just be making things worse.
Midnight will find it being laughably easy to sneak up behind Alhaitham, despite how seemingly deliberate his slow walk is. The voice cuts through his headphones and he starts much like a startled cat. The response is primal: it's fight or flight.
So he spins around on his heels and chooses fight. His fist springs forward, and the collision course is Midnight's sternum.]
