Something snaps, bones splintering beneath his flesh, more waves of pain and panic coursing through him. An all too familiar sensation. He's reminded of a girl's cruel smile, a roar through the wind that shakes him to his core. He chokes back another humiliating noise as he struggles to keep breathing, each breath more shallow than the last.

If he dies, he'll be right back where he started. What should he do? Should he try to reach out to Dynamo again? The connection feels too weak to even know where they are now. He can't move, he can barely even beg...

He's out of options. A dead end.

... he doesn't want to die, but there's nothing he can think of to solve this. Maybe passing out isn't such a bad idea after all.
