The sun shone through what was left of the glass, stained like Gabriel's shirt. He had long since shut down his weakened Grace. It would have, after all, defeated the purpose. Gabriel wasn't overly sure what the purpose was. To experience something new? To feel a simpler pain to rival that in his heart? To see that brilliant red. At first he was numb and it was good. Peaceful. Just twisted metal and glass and intrusive forest but then it started to hurt. He waited for it to pass but it didn't. It got worse. His head started to throb, his arm arched. His side... There was a metallic taste in his mouth. He decided it would pass if he slept.
Sunshine was being so noisy. All he had to do was lay here and wait. What was wrong with her? She wanted him to call her but it hurt to move his head. Everything started to swim. That... didn't feel good.
