memory’s so treacherous
Finn doesn't know what to expect, but there's one thing guaranteed to startle him out of his playfulness, and that's Tobi screaming his name with terror in her voice. He doesn't see what the skeletal hand actually is (i.e. it's not some shade or ghoul, but a piece of kit used for testing anatony), and it doesn't actually matter, in the end. By the time the doctor gets to her punchline (boo, indeed), Finn has snatched the hand and thrown it to the floor, where his boot comes down hard to splinter it into several tiny pieces that probably all have their own name.
He can hear his pulse in his ears and his knuckles are white with how hard he's clenched his fists, and Tobi's bright laughter is a distant thing. Letting out a shaky breath, not having realised he'd been holding it, Finn eventually sinks back against the wall and runs a hand down his face. "That is enough dark cupboards for one night, I think."
