ever since brian had spent the better part of a decade in the sun, brian was very prone to overheating. it had taken forever to recover him from the sun in the first place, and clearly his body wasn’t fully healed yet. especially seeing as he was currently overheating again, the metal protecting all his brass innards nearly glowing from the warmth. so yeah, not quite healed.

the AC in his room is cranked to the max, and you’re the only one who was even willing to enter. he’s splayed on top of his bed, shirtless. he has a damp towel draped over his forehead. all in all, he looks rather miserable.
