Sark was still there, yet he also wasn’t. One moment, he was on his apartment floor with Shul, next he is crumpled in a corridor in front of Georgia. It was switching too much for him to keep up. He turned to looking the ground, his head shaking. “No... no no no nonono.” He kept of muttering no as he shook his head.
He felt himself grow defensive. He already hated that he flinched when Shul touched him, but this was different. “Please... Leave. Shul, please. I know you won’t want to but I swear I will carry you outside and lock the door if you don’t.” He sounded serious but absolutely terrified.
It was because half of himself saw Shul. Half of himself knew he was having a lapse, and desperately tried to crawl towards some kind of light. But the other half still believed it was real. That was the dangerous half. He held Shul’s hands tight. “Please leave. You’ll get hurt. Everyone I love gets hurt...” He unconsciously held the cloth, still in his hand, a bit tighter.
