[ the first thing Reno did, after the golden door spit him back out into the darkness of his own apartment, was stumble into the kitchen and throw up in the sink.
the second thing he did, after his stomach was empty and he'd caught his breath, was pull out his phone.
what the fuck is the protocol in a situation like this? maybe Reno was the only one who had suffered the—what was that, even? a dream? a hallucination? a vision?—and any text he sends to Thancred would seem like the ramblings of a crazy person. or maybe—somehow an even worse scenario—Thancred had the same vision Reno did, and any text Reno sends him would be unwelcome.
but fuck. fuck, the pain of the loss is so sharp and so real, his gut still twisting with it. the weight of the despair is still so heavy. Reno can't just say nothing.
what he ends up sending is straightforward: ] tell me you're okay
[ Thancred doesn't have to say anything else. maybe it's better if he doesn't. but Reno needs to know he's alive, somewhere in this godsforsaken hellhole of a city. ]
