S: I'm fine. Yeah, aside from the not sleeping, the jumpiness, the constant overwhelming crushing fear that something terrible is about to happen. M: It's called hyper vigilance. The persistent feeling of being under threat. S: It's not just a feeling though. It's like it's a panic attack. You know, I can't even breathe. M: Like you're drowning? S: Yeah. M: So, if you're drowning and you're trying to keep your mouth closed until that very last moment. But if you choose to not open your mouth, to not let the water in. S: You do it anyway. It's a reflex. M: But if you hold off until that reflex kicks in. You have more time, right? S: Not much time. M: But more time to fight your way to the surface. S: I guess. M: More time to be rescued. S: More time to be in agonizing pain. Did you forget about the part where you feel like your head's exploding? M: If it's about survival, isn't a little agony worth it? S: What if it just gets worse. What if it's agony now and then... then it's just hell later on? M: Then think about what Winston Churchill once said: If you're going through hell... keep going! © copyrighted i do not own any of the characters or most of the plot apart from a few added/adapted parts and characters and the main person emerald hale-stone.
