[Sunny simply blinks, silent, as the information sinks in one by one.
A whole week… Aubrey had stayed too, which meant… things were alright now? And Basil… that meant he was ok, right? If he was in the hospital.
But… Sunny didn’t remember that… he remembered the pain from his eye and the warmth of blood leaking down his face, the sudden jolt of terror that led to a lightheadedness and then… falling in the River.
Had he… been asleep for a week? Had he died in his sleep and not realized it? Then why had his ‘death’ been so painfully relived in the River…?
The thought was making Sunny’s head swim, and suddenly he was glad that Kel was there as a physical support in case he passed out again.
Sunny blinks again, the joking laugh bringing him back.
Focus on that.]
One… eye… [There was a joke, somewhere, locked away in his head, but Sunny couldn’t bring himself to dredge it up from his clouded conscious.]
