“b b but…”
He tried to move his arm “N NGAH”
panting “h h h h h h how…”
"Hey-hey stop trying to move!"
He put his hand on Alex's back and he felt the pain fade away
‘nhh’
“I…j just want h her to stop…I j just wanna g go away…I W W want t to see h his face a a again…”
His eyes welled with tears as he broke down
"Oh-oh darling-"
They hugged him tightly, rubbing his back
"...I can't tell you the future...I'm not allowed but-I can tell you-you will see him again...everything's going to work out-I promise you..."
a muffled voice came from upstairs
“SHUT IT BEFORE I GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!”
(A) whimpering as he hugs them
“P p please h h h help…”
"Shhh shhh shhh shhh shh...hang on-let me just-"
Things blurred and whirled around him momentarily
"There we go-those idiots are LONG at the ball by now."
“W what t t t th-…”
"I sped up time a little bit-technically against the rules so don't tell anyone."
They winked at him
"I just needed to get those assholes out of here."
“…o ohhh I f feel d dizzy…”
He stumbled a lil
“S so…h how am I g going to g get to the ball?”
"Well...first off, hmm...you'll need something to wear-hold still."
