[network] @ASolomons; audio, morning of 265 [open]

[devoutish]

The fuck is going on?

[He sounds exhausted, as per usual, and his voice is hoarse and raw - he's been doing a lot of non-stop talking these past few days, trying to keep Royce engaged.]

Right - the lot of you, sound off. What happened, and what needs to be done?

[There's no response for a good while, just wet breathing and the rustle of his clothes as he shifts position. He hasn't abandoned the conversation, however:]

As if I'd never moved.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[So it's a pattern, then, with people on both sides - likely one that everyone's followed.]

What do you think, hallucination?

audio cw: suicidal ideations-ish...?

[warriorscribe]

Don't know.

[Exceedingly laconic, for Enoch. Everything takes too much energy. Talking takes too much energy. If breathing wasn't involuntary he'd have stopped doing that, too. Everything hurts, everything seems to sap the life out of him, even the things he needs to live at all.]

Does it matter? It was real enough.

[devoutish]

It doesn't matter in terms of trauma and emotions, no. But it matters for our situation; for the future.

[warriorscribe]

[He doesn't say anything for a while, again. Maybe Alfie has part of some other conversation in the meantime, while the only sound from Enoch's end is that of him quietly crying.]

I don't feel as if I haven't moved for four days.

[devoutish]

Yeah, but you've got bigger problems, clearly. Have you got friends here?

[warriorscribe]

[He wanted to help! But...but, no, when the first thing out of his mouth is the first thing he feels and he can't work up the energy to say too much at once...he can't.]

I don't know anymore.

[The very first person that comes to mind was in those cells. Everyone else he can think of was, too, or was connected to one of them. Are they still his friends?]

[devoutish]

My suggestion, right, is that you figure that out.

[warriorscribe]

I'll...I'll try.

[Such a simple thing, ask a question, and it seems so daunting.]

[devoutish]

Mm.

[Good.]

A man shouldn't be on his own, right now.

[warriorscribe]

[There's silence again - Enoch nods, but Alfie wouldn't be able to see it without a video connection.]

Being alone is...crushing. I'll try.
