Summary
Evan comes back, blinking rapidly as he tries to focus. Memories swim last him and he unsteady reaches for them, missing them as they twirl like mist. He centers himself, grounding slowly as he breathes deep and even does so makes the most of memories pass by him even more.
He's sitting on the floor, leaning on the couch. K, Jammer, and Sam are all curled around the coffee table, at his side. They make subtle glances in his direction that make him instinctively bristle, but none of their gazes linger as they continue talking.
K holds his hand, rubbing smooth circles in the back of his palm. He twitches his fingers, giving the clasp a gentle squeeze. They turn to look at him.
“Who was fronting?” he asks which is a pretty standard question when the memory gaps are this big.
Or: During a bad brain day, Evan paints his nails with his friends.

She pants, exhales, and wipes the sweat out of her eyes. She puts everything into her performances, and her body knows it. She shifts her position and her hip protests at the movement, flaring pain across her side. She winces, and someone else slides her some ibuprofen.

He is tired.
Gorgug has maybe never been more exhausted in his life. He is tired. Very, very tired.

Rocking, rocking, rock. His headphones are over his ears too, clamped down with noise canceling turned on but nothing playing.
