awareness is the enemy of sanity
Letting out a shuddering sigh, Finn lets his head tilt to rest against her own, his arms tightening around her a bit as if only just realising that, for the first time in his life, he actually has someone to hold onto in situations like this. "Okay," he says softly, and then again, "okay. Thank you." Inhaling softly and letting himself feel Tobi against him, Finn's eyes drop closed and - as if prompted by Tobi's remarks - Cian's face flashes in front of him.
With eyes snapping back open, Finn flinches back, though of course it isn't the doctor's fault. "Sorry," he whispers, his heart racing in his chest. Gently he steps back to sink down onto the bed, raking his fingers through his curls and pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes. You don't have to decide anything right now, she says, and he understands that much, at least. "I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep, Tobi."
