[His head lowers as he sits down, still just in his boxer briefs because the dry clothes are there but he just...hasn't put them on yet. He's glad Adrian is keeping hold of his hands. It makes him feel tethered. Like he knows where he is.

Before long, he's sagging to the side, leaning up against Adrian with his head on his shoulder.]

I was running...I think. I couldn't see. There was something in my eyes, everything was blurry. I kept falling. But it was hard to get up, I'd slip every time, like...getting traction on gravel, or something. For a while that was just it, but then pretty soon I figured out where I was. It was the way home...home to my house, back in Japan.

[He closes his eyes, squeezing Adrian's hands.]

Something was running after me, but I got through the gate, and then I just had to run over the bridge to get into the house. But the boards were wet, I guess. I slipped, and I fell into the river. Then I was drowning...I couldn't pull myself back out again.

[His lips purse.]

I think I must've woken up, because the next thing I remember was walking across the yard into my house. But no one was there, and I just kept walking and walking, until I heard a radio saying that there was someone outside. Some kind of report. So I looked outside, into the firefly garden, and Dio was out there.

I — I got scared. So I hid, and I...tried to get to my mom's room. Like I was a little kid again. But I got there and she was fine, and she told me it was just a nightmare, and to go back to sleep. She got up and walked me back to my room and made me get in bed, and I heard her walking back down the hall. But she kept walking, and walking, and pretty soon I rolled over to see why she was walking so much, and as I did he walked in and came over and — shoved me down, held me down and said something I don't remember and...

[He sighs.]

And that's it. I woke up. It's stupid.
