"We're in a motel," I said hastily, relief and grief flashing underneath the scars on my face. "Are you awake now?"

...Motel. ...Motel... Mo--why were we...? --Oh.
... ...that had been real.
That was... this was the worst wake up moment ever... I... I... had... I had been... I... that all... could have just been...a dream.. all of it...The... the... whole... thing... but... no, no I was... we were... in... in the hotel... and... and that had... happened...
...It wasn't... really... often... that... that... reality and... and dreams got... got this close... to... each other... I mean... this was...
Not that Reality was being entirely there at the moment but.... you know... uhm.
"...oh..." I muttered, starting to pull myself out of the curled up position I'd been in on the floor... how did I get...oh... yeah... I glanced at Bells for a second... and then, seeing her being all...kind of concerned and... and... how she was... I ended up looking at the floor...
...Was...was I awake...? Well, it.. it looked like it... didn't it? I mean... I didn't really feel.... like... like I was... like this was... reality... but... It apparently...was... so... er... uhm.
This was... really... bad...
"...I... ...I... guess? ...maybe?" It was almost hopeful, like... like maybe reality would decide to switch again and tear me away to some new horror... and... and then I'd wake up screaming... at... at home... having... having... overslept... and...and woken..Ana... and... it would all be... normal.
...but the longer it went without something really bad happening... ...the more I realised.. that this... this was... uhm, the... the real... part.

I frowned, watching down at him. Looked like reality wasn't much better than what he'd been dreaming, with his expression. I didn't like that.
I held out my hand, carefully. "C'mon. Come sit with me."

I ended up staring at the floor for a bit longer, and then eventually pulled myself off the floor kind of shakily... and onto the bed. I wanted... I wanted this to ...be... less... bad.
My knees kind of automatically went up to my chest, and I just kind of looked at her knees... because... I don't know... from where I was sitting it was...like... difficult to... to look at the floor properly...so...er.. yeah.
I almost felt like crying again... but it wouldn't really... really... accomplish anything... so.. but like... I didn't want to think about it. ...I didn't want to think about what reality really was.

He curled up on the bed again. "Oh, T.Mor . . ." I just put my arm around him again, still unsure of what to do.
The hell. Every day since my old life, I'd been staggering about trying to figure out why the hell I was here, what I was supposed to do, and why . . . I knew I wanted to help this guy. He was sort of my problem now. I owed him one. He loved me. The problem was, I had absolutely no idea how to deal with any of this.
Holy satan. Give me some answers, whoever or wherever you are. I don't even care. If there's anyone to help, give me some bloody answers. What do I do?

I felt her put her arm around me... which... which was really...nice... and... and I mean, ...I realised... that... that Bells was here. Which, I mean... I'd known... because... she was here, but... like... I wasn't ...Completely alone. Bells was here.

So, we sat there for a long while. The usual. And then I finally asked . . .
"So . . . what do we do now?"

Her question broke the silence. And I remembered... today was... today was... was Sunday. We...we had work. Life... life had to kind of... keep happening... even though... that... happened.
Don'tthinkaboutthat.
Right. ...so. Uhm... what... what do ... about fire...about... about everything... I mean.... we were completely broke basically. And... And there was nothing that we could do... ... ...waitaminute...

Something told me that he didn't really want to get up. Neither did I, really. The thought of going out and passing more fires . . . and perhaps have to put on another blank mask . . .
I wondered how many fires were set by the government, and how many were set by who-knows-who.
"A'right," I murmered, and sighed, not moving. " 'ow do we go about that?"

I bit my lip, nodding before he even got the question out. I'd seen that one coming.
. . . I really didn't want to go back into that building.

I nodded again, once more not budging from my place. I didn't want to go back there . . . if I saw another person shot dead right in front of me . . . Alright, I'd seen plenty of people die before I even met T.Mor. But this was different.
". . . T.Mor?" I asked, my voice suddenly sounding like a little girl's, not my own. It was odd.

And... and then the weird little silence of nobody doing anything... was broken... by... If I hadn't seen her... uhm...mouth move... I wouldn't have like... known it was her... really...

" . . . Does it get any worse?" I found myself curling up against him, hoping he had some kind of answer. I'd been there less than a week, and all of this . . . what about next week? The week after that? Would it be some sort of sick circle of trying to pretend that I could fix things, and that he could fix things for me?

Not... not that I doubted... that... that It could... like... get worse... if... if... if some people... needed... a...laugh...or... something....

Part of me wanted to sigh with relief, part of me wanted to cry, and part of me wanted to shut the hell up and pretend like I had everything under control again. So I just stayed against his shoulder. His incredibly bony shoulder. I wondered if I might become that skinny soon.
". . . Then things will get better?" I asked, knowing I was just getting my hopes up. "Soon?"

I didn't move or flinch or frown at that statement. I'd seen it coming. In fact, it might have been just a tiny bit better than I'd expected . . . but it still wasn't good. "Oh."
