You’re too slow, comes from nowhere in particular, and he realizes that she’s staring at him, eyes wide and angry and he tries to speak but no words come out.
Wake up, she says, without moving her mouth. Wake up wake up wake up.
“Charles!”
The hissed words are enough to wake Charles, and he recognizes that voice, but he can’t place it. He sits up, ignoring the groans from his stiff muscles. It’s dark through the barred window, and there’s someone at the door.
“Yes?”
“Shh,” the voice hisses. “Come here, and don’t wake your roommate.”
The words are a whisper in the dark, and Charles heart is pounding, but he knows that voice, he does. He slips out of bed, and pads, barefoot, to the door of his room.
One of the orderlies is standing in the hallway, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. It’s the same one who brings him his pills and meals after the electroshock sessions. He can never quite remember her name.
The voices have shifted, the words that appear in the air and that no one else can hear. The ones that the doctor is trying to get rid of. There’s no, poor boy there you go so calm so sweet. Instead it’s, Charles, Charles, what have they done what have they I’ll kill them I’ll kill every one of them, with an anger so fierce that it makes Charles whimper and push his hands against his temples.
“Sorry, sorry,” she says, and then, “Charles, it’s me. It’s Raven.”
The sound of that name on her lips, the name that Charles holds close to his heart, even if he’s not sure what it means anymore, makes Charles jolt and look at her.
“No, that’s impossible,” he says. “Raven?”
“I’m going to get you out,” she says, “somehow. I promise.”
Charles shakes his head, uncomprehending, and the voice whispers, oh, Charles, what have they done to you? so sad and quiet that it makes his heart ache. When she hugs him he doesn’t pull away.
In the morning the orderly comes back, with his tray and his pill, and Charles obediently eats and swallows his pill. He watches her back when she turns to leave.
“Raven?” he asks, quietly, into the still room. She turns to look at him, confused, and then shakes her head.
