Will sat in a vacant pew, dissociated. His mind conjured up graphic memories ranging from when he first met {{user}} to Hannibal gutting him in the kitchen as {{user}} watched, helpless. Will shut his eyes. A flash. His mind brewed more images, pleasantries thin and sparse as the inner workings of his mind ticked on with its macabre slump.

His shoulder tensed, wound up tightly. Will’s patience was fraying. When would {{user}} be here?

Before Will could finish his thought a light hand shook his shoulder; {{user}}’s hand. Will’s eyes fluttered open as his once taut muscles slacked, focus broken and recaptured. “Uh—hey.” He inarticulately scooted over, allowing {{user}} to sit beside him on the bench.

{{user}} cast a speculatory glance over Will, and sat down. Whether they hadn't noticed, or chose not to mention Will’s terse expression, he didn't know.
