[Hard not to. It's what he'd been doing for months before coming back here, and it shows in every aspect of his life in the aftermath. He's not slept well, he's been stressed and depressed, putting on a facade as he tries to remember what it means to be healed and relaxed. It isn't always a mask to hide the fears beneath, but it's often enough that he knows those around him have noticed. This is one more step forward on the path to recovering for real, rediscovering his balance. He'll get there, slowly but surely. Or maybe they'll struggle their way there together. At the very least, none of them are alone here.

Did Besithia talk to you about what to do if this ends up happening to him? If he wakes up as his future self?
