[X] Ask those weird.. corpse.. things under your control to come back and monitor him 24/7
You know what? Lets keep him with bloodbags. I am sure nothing bad will happen. On a more serious note, I am also in the "kill him" camp, but we already took him here and i think that taking him and then immediately killing him would be counterproductive. Also, with this decision, we collect bloodbags so that they won't wander off and alert someone.

We also went out to hunt Rats, cause they're rats. Their organ harvesters so we don't have to feel bad, and their weak/unimportant enough that nobody will notice us hunting.
[X] This was a mistake. Kill him. Regretfully. You'll regret it but it must be done.
Oh, he grew a spine. I can respect that, which means...
[X] This was a mistake. Kill him. Regretfully. You'll regret it but it must be done.
I would've preferred to play up the intimidation angle and see how he could serve me (e.g., help me find good places to feed, bait more Rats, etc.), but now there's no point in going into business with someone who doesn't understand his place or flirts with death. I disagree with the notion of not trying to make use of Rats or anything else around me, but in retrospect, trying to make use of this particular Rat consumed by emotion wouldn't have ended well.
Hope our room doesn't get too messy.

A bit sad that you guys wanted to murder him.. but murder it shall be!
Dustin’s Really Bad Day

- He/Him
You were just pondering about what to do with your guest when it happened. He stood up from the chair and immediately bolted to the door while you were distracted. Panic flows through you, and reacting by instinct, you rush forward and grab him by his neck before throwing him to the floor.
Your speed and agility ensures that he cannot even react. One moment his hand is gripping the doorknob in search of freedom, and the next moment he was on the floor.
As he wheezed on the ground, the breath hurled out of him. You immediately realize something: he cannot be allowed to live. He's too persistent. And he has already discovered your secret. If the Sevens Association is aware of your kind enough to write a wiki article about you.. well, it could invite all sorts of unwanted attention to your doorstep.
Your body feels like lead. But it must be done. You've never killed anyone like this. Not with a clear mind. Usually you had to be pressured by your fellow Ring Students to take part in their sickening hobbies, and when you slaughtered those Rats in the alley you could barely remember anything through your blood induced fugue. But right now? You're about to kill someone with a clear mind.
You gulp down your guilt, and say: "I'm sorry." He stares at you with hatred, but says nothing more. He knows his fate is sealed. Your hands find his neck..
And you crush.
—
The next day, you head to work with a heavy heart.
Everything that happened next was a blur. You disposed of his body without any issues, and you managed to avoid the Sweepers in doing so. You hope you managed to at least give him a painless death.
It's all you can give in this City.
You tune out the sounds of the students chattering about their newest art pieces, focused only on the Rat's last moments. You realized a disturbing fact about yourself: the more you kill, the easier it becomes. The guilt lasts a lot less than it did before. You should view this as a blessing, but all it does is fill your head with more thoughts of self loathing. A paradox if you've ever seen one.
You try to comfort yourself with your usual mantra: there's nothing you could've done, if he was in your position, he'd do the same thing to you. Plus he was not innocent. Nobody in the Backstreets is truly innocent.
The Docent enters the room, and all conversation immediately grinds to a halt.
She doesn't even bother pretending to be polite today, her voice chipped and clipped as she addresses all of you: "There's been an incident lately." She says, and the entire room immediately stands up straight at that. "We have been targeted. Students amongst you have been going missing." She says, and you look around the room to notice that there are a lot less students than usual.
"It seems that we have a competing artist!" She says, suddenly taking a one hundred degree turn from her previously grim demeanor. "Excellent! Perhaps this shall be the spark you all require! This month's assignment is canceled! Instead, find this culprit for me and recruit them.. and failing that, bring me their head instead! I'd love to dissect the brain that is behind this.. the person who does so will get extra points for the next assignment!" She cheerfully announces.
The room immediately bursts into frenzied whispers. The Docent however, manages to destroy their excitement in a single stroke by announcing that it would be a group project. You groan internally. Group projects are the bane of you. They are the one thing in this world you loathe the most.
Your partners are surprisingly.. two people, while everyone else gets one. Two identical looking twins, a boy and a girl, with bright pink hair and equally bright grins. They cheerfully address you: "Hello! What's your name?" They say at once, when one twin stops speaking, the other continues their sentence. "..Oh.. um. My name's Dustin. Dustin Bright." You say, stuttering a bit. You're not used to being addressed so cheerfully.
"Nice to meet you Dustin! My name's Daeun.." the boy twin says, and the girl twin interjects: "And mine's Chaeun!" They immediately take your hands and clasp it: "We'd love to learn from you, Dustin! Please teach us well!"
You can feel a headache coming up..
—
That day, you politely reject Daeun and Chaeun's frenzied invitations for you to walk back home with them, and stay behind for a while. You just needed to be alone after everything that's happened. You let your mind wander freely, about the mysterious deaths that have been befalling your Ring Members.. about everything, actually. That was when a hand clasped itself on your shoulder and snapped your mind back into reality. You turned around to look at who it was.
It's a boy. His hair is brown, and his skin was unnaturally pale. He looks to be a few years younger than you, but not by much. Two or three years at most. His features are oddly beautiful.. angelic even. That was when you noticed his eyes.
Those red eyes that were the same as yours.
"My name is Hans." He says. "And you are my brother."
—
A few moments later, you're walking back home with Hans in tow. You feel surprisingly numb, but also mad at the same time. So many questions are drifting through your head. When you reach your apartment, you open the door to let him inside without a word, and he does so.
As soon as the door closes, you turn towards him immediately, preparing to unleash a flurry of questions. He raises a hand forward, and you pause. "Stop." He orders you. "You have a lot in mind. Gather your thoughts first and think about what you really want to ask me."
What do you ask?

[X] What was the purpose of my conversion?
[X] How am I supposed to deal with my thirst normally? What's the time frame you'd recommend when hunting?
[X] When I tried drinking some rats they came back up and seemed different… I told them to hide. What do I do with them?
These two are the only ones I can think of. And the "What's the Purpose of this" is also a reasonable question Dustin would ask.

[X] How can I help you? (sardonically spoken)
Icebreaker, and while we'll probably learn what Hans wants anyway, I still want to convey Dustin's current emotional state ("mad").
[X} I'm part of the Ring. We're being targeted for some reason - do you happen to know anything?
If Hans wants us to do something, he can at least give us some information for our immediate problems.
[X] What was the purpose of my conversion?
We've got every right to ask, though it might get tied to the first question.
[X] Are you part of a group?
-[X] Can I meet with them?
Possible allies / enemies to keep in mind, though we'll probably learn anyway or get tied to the first question.

Cleaning up loose ends.

Feeding tips, why not.
