[ you know what. he doesn't have time. he knows will is losing his mind and he knows there's only so much time left and he knows will knows how to swim. he can stay in the lake. he puts some distance between them and he's almost to the tree before he remembers, again, they're all being watched. they're blatantly disregarding the rules and he knows will's thread of control is snapping entirely.
he won't let them watch this. the people at home don't need to see his boyfriend suffering like this, they don't deserve to see them actually triumph, they don't deserve will solace. he stays at the edge of the lake and he turns, eyes sharp and focused and he seems to be concentrating.
above...thunder booms and sharp crackles of lightning appear. there's the scent of electricity in the air, and nico's hands move, focused and determined to take out the screens, the cameras, everything publicly putting them on blast. fuck this place.
but that's the thing about electricity...it can't always be contained. a bolt of lightning crashes down on a large screen...and another right into the lake before he can stop it. the water ripples and there's a snap as the bolt hits, and his eyes widen and he screams. ]
