[ Jim is turning to look at him. His heart picks up speed and he can feel happiness starting to expand in his chest like a balloon. It's not long before it pops and drops to the pit of his stomach as he sees that face. Jim isn't okay.
The hard part is, Zell can see himself clearly. It's Jim that's starting to distort and flicker away. Flinching a bit as he reaches for him once more. There has to be a way to tether him. To keep him there.
They dealt with shit similar to this months back, but it... it was only Kunsel and Zack blinking in and out of existence then. It was Zell losing all of his senses bit by bit and Jim was seeing things. Seeing memories or something.
Why couldn't it be that way again? Kunsel and Zack had something about them that said they will pop back up. Like daisies. Zell can handle them vanishing for a moment from view because he knows they will be back.
He's scared that each time Jim flickers out of view, that'll be it. He won't see Jim ever again. Jim will be taken away from him by the shadows, the frickin' prophet, or the admin. Whatever is responsible will take the best thing about this place away from him.
The beeping on his tablet brings him back to the moment. Back to the feeling of his eyes stinging hot with tears and his shoulders shaking. Taking a deep breath as he rubs at his own eyes to try to focus. Try to see past all the blurs and static to read the message.
He swallows as he sees the sun in the midst of it. Several suns. ]
