His eyes open suddenly in the darkness. It felt like it should have come with more of a jolt than that-- his breath starts to come more quickly, to match the way his heart is racing.
He lets go of Tiwa as gently as he can-- trying to be silent, trying not to notice the way his hands are shaking-- and sits up, fumbling to bring the pendant of his necklace back around to the front so he can grasp it in his hand. The purple jewel is glowing, ever so slightly, almost too softly for one to be able to know for certain that it is.
He runs his fingers through his hair, trying not to sigh.

He wishes this were unusual.
