[He was out of it enough to at least initially bypass what would have been an inevitable wave of self-consciousness upon waking up, just as Shiro'd worried... and now, before he really has any opportunity to hit that mark, his brain is stuttering to a halt instead, the reaction delayed and slowed down by sleepiness but also obvious in that he can't mask the way he goes very still. His eyes are fully open and wide now.]
