Summary
Carlos feels heat rise up the back of his neck and curl around his ears as he watches a video of himself on TK's phone. There’s no mistaking the jumping up and down on the bleachers and yelling himself hoarse that’s clearly on display. He groans when he hears the laughter of other spectators from behind the camera.
+
Carlos always stands out in a crowd.

Summary
His t-shirt is sweat-soaked and twisted around him, refusing to allow his chest to fully expand the way he desperately needs it to. He tears away at it, trying to get it off, and a sob climbs up his throat and out of his mouth when it starts to feel hopeless. Finally, after an hour or a day or maybe even a year, it comes off. TK throws it across the room with a yell before he wraps his arms around himself, his fingernails digging into his sides.
He just wants to feel something.
But that’s not really his problem right now. He’s feeling too much, all at once. It’s a stark contrast from the nightmare that he found himself trapped in moments ago; a nightmare where he felt absolutely nothing. Because he was absolutely nothing.
Because he was dead.
+
Or, five times TK wakes up disoriented and confused, and one time he wakes up knowing he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be.
