[ that headbutt slams him square in the face, and he lets out a strangled cry as the force of it turns his nose into a shattered, bloodied mess, the pain absolutely staggering for a moment. luckily, his reflexes work faster than his mind does, and even as he's swimming in that haze of pain, he slips a hand around Mars' neck and slams his head back onto the ground.
he doesn't stop to think this time before he sinks his sharp teeth into Mars' throat, around where the helmet and his armor would connect, tearing into the flesh. ]
[with no helmet, Mars’s head cracks against the ground, sending his vision swimming. he blinks up blearily through swirling stars and blackness, the pressure on his neck almost suffocating]
[and then there’s an explosion of pain around his neck, and Mars yells, wet and strangled and panicked and holy shit holy shit holy shit]
[he bucks up against Man Eater and attempts to throw him off, bleed seeping from his new wound, staining the front of his outfit and pooling onto the ground next to his head. even now. . . he struggles to the end, through the way his vision blurs and dims, through the dizziness of blood loss, through the way the world suddenly seems to go out of focus and everything starts to fade]
[ he pulls back from Mars' neck, bracing against his thrashing, watching the life seep out of him slowly.
slowly. why is it going so slowly? this is agonizing—obviously for Mars, but it's also giving Man☆Eater long enough to feel something that just might be regret. eventually he just slams Mars' hard head against the concrete one last time, hopefully finishing it for good. ]

Re: THE SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE
[there’s another sharp crack as Mars’s skull collides against the concrete, and his form immediately goes limp]
[this is now one very dead HSS]

and then as the effects of Charm wear off, he's left wondering what the hell any of that was about. ]
