Summary
The loop began again in his mind: the gym, the showers, Rozanov’s hands, Rozanov’s mouth, the moans and profanities and apologies that had slipped from Shane’s own throat in the heat of the moment. It was a swirling cocktail of fear, guilt, and a terrifying, lingering want. He couldn’t make it stop, no matter how hard he tried to choke it down.

A series of nine missing or extended scenes (headcanon) from the show depicting Shane falling apart, breaking down, and/or becoming physically sick after experiencing extreme anxiety, panic attacks, or emotionally charged situations.
Shane is already an OCD, perfectionist, athlete, so it’s not a stretch to imagine he has a nervous stomach. These chapters eventually contrast his years of breaking down in private with the moment he finally lets Ilya in.
