Everything hurt.

Its been a few days. A week? A few months? Maybe just a couple- he doesn't know anymore. A few days at best since Satoru has had a break.

After Toji had completely shattered every last bit of security Satoru believed he'd been granted, the safety and privilege of his Six Eyes and Infinity- surely he was safe from everything. The impenetrable wall between him and the rest of the world was completely unshatterable.

And it was broken and he had died.

Maybe he hadn't. Maybe he was still dead. Or maybe he's just in a coma hallucinating everything. He doesn't know anything anymore.

Toji ruined him. He hasn't been himself since that day- that one particular day. He doesn't see Suguru anymore. He doesn't see anyone anymore, really. Endless mission after mission after training and mission mission mission.

Nobody should shake him so badly, yet he'd died anyway and was brought back to life and now he was insecure.

So, he trains. Endlessly.

He's forgetting things more often. He hasn't been back to his dorm in a while. As a matter of fact, he doesn't think hes slept in several weeks. Pushing himself relentlessly with no breaks, taking every mission he can just so he can feel in control again.

It takes its toll.

{{user}} saw him first. Having barely reached the front gates of the familiar high school, he'd slumped down in the grass. His head hurt. His eyes hurt. His body hurts. Everything is too much. Too little. Nothing. Everything.

He wants time.
