Room 238 [Thursday Morning]
It's the scream that wakes him up. For a moment, his eyes search the room, thinking the screaming is actually here and now, not just in his head. He remembers hands, familiar hands, reaching out, begging him not to do this, but he'd done it enough.
Done it anyway.
Umberto's laughing in his head, louder than usual. He swats at his ear and swings his legs over the side of the bed, rubbing at his temple. Aeryn's still asleep (for now) so she can't see that just yet.
It's going to be a long day.
