It hurts.

It's cold and it hurts. So much. The aching and the throbbing. It pulsates, stretching over my entire skull, then digging deeper and deeper until it penetrates my brain matter.

I'm curled in a ball. At least, I think I am. My body is so heavy and foreign to me that I honestly can't tell. Am I sitting? Am I laying? Am I even conscious?

That's a stupid question. Of course, I'm conscious. Right? I am awake, right? Right?

Ow. I have to be awake. These stabs in my skull tell me I am. But for how long? When will I fade back into nothingness?

I squint, carefully opening my eyes. Then wince, the sharp light causing a new wave of pain to shoot over my skull. So, just as quickly as I open them, I close my eyes, plunging myself back into this strange little swirl of colors and shapes. Then, they fade.

I shiver, pulling my arms closer. I can't feel my left arm. It is completely numb. And I haven't looked at it. I've been in too much pain and too tired.

So tired.

So completely and wholly tired. Tired of fighting. Tired of yelling. Tired of running. Tired of being tired. And all I want is to just take a deep breath and not be tired anymore.

And maybe to just feel warm.


**Ello lovelies! Well, a much shorter chapter today. But it's not just any short chapter. Okay. Maybe it is. I didn't wanna do two Tomura chapters in a row, so here's this. Yes, shit is still gonna go down in this book. It's a long one – sorry. We will get there. We must just be patient. Anywho, as always, thank y'all so much for everything! Y'all are the best! Wuv yous!! <3**
