[Sleeping only in pajama bottoms was a risk of born of overconfidence, hardly given a passing thought when dressing for bed last night. Human skin can feel things like cool sheets against him and a soft mattress beneath, warmth of the person beside. Seven years' wait should have kept him up to savor it but wakefulness faded quickly, taking with it the magic that allowed him the chance in the first place.]
[Zelgadis eases out of sleep, a warm surge in his chest. Of the usual fading nightmares that start his day, there is no sign. His smile, a rarity before yesterday, reforms as he shifts his weight, rolling -- ]
[He knows it before he opens his eyes, before he can even dare to form the thought. The scrape of stone on stone as his arm grazes his bare flank is deafening, the void where sensations of touch and warmth should be -- but no. No, they could be anything. A bot outside, the building settling, a cooler temperature. Anything.]
[His hands form fists despite his silent, pleading demand not to, and then it's all over. The life he had only begun yesterday is gone.]
[The bed creaks as he sits up, hands clutching his forehead, wide eyes staring blankly at the glittering blue-grey stones on his chest. This can't -- can't be happening. But unlike the nightmares that have haunted every morning for seven years, this one refuses to be blinked away.]
[His scream can be heard by people in and around Sector 4 -- biting, feral, two thousand days' torment escaping at once. And it won't be hard to trace the sound when its stopped, because what wasn't let out through his throat will likely be suffered by one of the walls in their basement apartment.]
((OOC: Feel free to hear him and barge right in! ...Or wait 'till he punches/blows a hole in the wall and just peer in. Saber may also choose to participate in threads if Ari wants! A-apologies in advance for his unreasonableness OTL))
