Homeplot: Aftermath
When Sean doesn't wake up to the sound of the alarm, he assumes that he's just too early. The light in the room begs to differ, though, and while he likely wouldn't be able to get back to sleep either way, he forces himself to begin the tedious process of waking up. That in and of itself is something odd, since it isn't usually a process as such for him, and he has to fight an uncharacteristic sluggishness in his limbs as he stirs under the sheets.
It takes a moment for the truth to come to him, in bits and pieces at first and then all the rest at once, but as soon as he clues in, once he places what it is that feels so strange yet familiar about everything, he pushes himself to sit up in one fast motion. His head swims in protest to the sudden rush, but he's not so foggy that he doesn't know exactly where he is, where he never thought he'd have to wake up again.
"No," he says, his voice hard and flat as he staunchly refuses to believe what's happened for as long as he's able.
