    Summary

    takes place in the manga continuity, very very close to the end. it's right before the dream sequence of tetsuo's memories. kaneda and tetsuo have an unexpected final reunion.

    --

    He can't breathe, or see, or really even move. It all keeps writhing and pulsing around him, like a heartbeat ringing in his ears. It's useless to try and dig his way out, and it feels more and more like he's gonna just pop!

    He was screaming when he got dragged into the squirming mass of guts and skin that was (is?) Tetsuo, but he stopped pretty quickly when he realized it'd get in his mouth if he didn't close it. He’s not sure he could even make a noise now. He’s being crushed, he can feel it in his ribs.

    So why can he still hear screaming? 

    It's everywhere, all around him. Awful, indescribable wailing.

    Summary

    “I’ve got a headache.”

    And he does, and it’s (unbearable) awful, and he’s been trying to shake it off for days, but it clings and holds on and won’t let him go. The room is full and stuffy (like his skull) and he can hear every sigh, every sniff, every brush of fabric against fabric, skin against skin. They’re all high – of course they’re all high – but he just can’t seem to climb along. Everything looks grey, like every day in this shithole.
