Edward had done it, he'd killed the person who had caused most of the suffering in his life, he'd gotten his revenge, avenged all those who had died due to his insane worldview.

And it was so anticlimactic it hurt.

It wasn't like he felt like he failed, it just felt pointless, he'd never kill again, but perhaps he could have been changed, perhaps there was a chance of him realizing that he was wrong, and Edward had denied him that chance to fulfill his own desires, and he didn't even feel any better, none of those who Nudd had killed were coming back, and killing him just added another to the list of lives lost due to his ridiculous worldview.

He needed some time to think right now, he needed to go home and talk to Maria.

But first he needed to figure out who that masked intruder was, they had threatened to kill him almost first thing, probably not the most sane individual.

He gave one last look at Nudd's prone form, sighing gently, before running towards his apartment. He burst in a moment later, put on his outfit and gave Maria a cursory hello and goodbye before taking off back out into the city. Maria sighed and turned on the television in response, she knew better than to ask questions.

[i]Where to look first?[/i] Edward wondered to himself as he stood atop his apartment building, looking over the city. This person could teleport without leaving a trace, it would be hard to find them, but if they were willing to kill so easily, he knew he had to. He stepped off the side of the building, falling straight as an arrow. Around halfway down he began running along the side of the building, shattering a window or two and gaining speed exponentially. The ground approached quickly, growing with every passing millisecond, but at the last moment, Edward jumped from the wall, rotating upwards through the air around ninety degrees and landing on the ground feet first, continuing his momentum, he ran away from the building and into the street.

He would ask around first, see if anyone had seen a person in a strange gas-mask, perhaps hope that he came across them during this. He began scanning the east side of the city, looking around alleys and abandoned buildings, the most common place for a hiding criminal to be.
