seattle ; monday afternoon

[necroslacker]

It'd been another night racked with nightmares. They were getting worse and worse and Sam had no idea what had seemingly opened the floodgates. He didn't know what was causing everything to spiral out of control. He'd found himself downstairs in the basement way too much and for way too long. Ramon and Frank had even started questioning him and he'd just snapped angrily and stalked away.

That had just concerned them more. And they'd threatened to tell Brid which was great. He didn't want to deal with her when it came to this. He didn't want to deal with anyone. He just wanted to internalize it and make it go away.

He'd locked himself in his room for right now. The bed was unmade and messy and his clothes were strewn about, a testament to just how unfocused he was. But, he was still up and he was still mobile. Well, he was looking out one of the windows at the gray afternoon.

But, that counted.

"Okay." With that said, his eyes drooped closed and he fell quiet. He didn't know if he was going to fall asleep but he was definitely comfortable enough to maybe doze a bit and rest his eyes.

And that would be good enough under the circumstances.

Natalie couldn't force him to fall asleep, but she could make sure he was comfortable. She kept touching him, and she kept humming to him.

It was enough.
