   Summary

   Sometimes, Howard doesn't feel alive.

   Sometimes, it feels like his mind never left the island, never left those computers, never feels like his mind is in the right body or place.

   Maybe, in that sense, he never truly escaped Morose.

   -

   TIODM roleswap au, in which after the true ending, Howard struggles with adapting back to normal life, while Phillip is struggling with immeasurable guilt while trying to help his best friend recover from everything Morose did to him.

   It is not an easy road, but it doesn't have to be traversed alone.
