He spent a lot of time sleeping now— restless, fitful sleep. When he was awake, he was lethargic and largely unresponsive. Occasionally his lips peeled back from his teeth in silent warning; otherwise, he only stared. He was aware— his eyes followed movement, particularly when the one moving was @Kasatka or @Spiritwalker. Sometimes, he made eye contact.
Today was a little different. His silence was broken for the first time as he awoke screaming, his first jolts into consciousness marked by his own shrieks. The sound died as awareness hit him fully, and he opened his mouth to call for @Aditya. The words stuck in his throat. Instead he whined softly, lifted his head to glance around, and dropped it back down with an audible thud and a second whine. Everything hurt.
