[Kel's confusion endures, though something else boils beneath it. When he blinks, he thinks he can see Basil's heart beating in his chest. It makes him blink and stumble a few steps back, staring down at his hands, as if they're the problem. The nails have turned black, with thin, inky roots creeping up each finger.]

[Kel shakes his hands, as if they were only covered in mud. Sweat beads up on his temples, and he looks at Basil, both eyes void-black, as if they've both been gouged out.]
H-h-hey! Haha! [The laugh sounds almost manic with nerves. Kel winces.]
I-it's just a play. Just, like...like special effects, you know? Or uh. The other one! Practice effects! [Close enough.] I-it's alright! What the hell? What the hell?
