[The water was now a distant memory - a far away place of refuge? - except for the droplets that still soaked through his clothes. Vaguely, Sunny recognized that he had sat down, legs underneath him and unable to hold strength, as his brain tried to process.
He didn’t want to be here. He wanted to be anywhere but here.
Where was here, even? Water, a cavern, definitely not the house they had both been in mere moments (hours, days?) ago.
Sunny tried to breathe. Tried, failed, lungs extending and clenching, like water was still in them. Like something was gripping inside him, holding tight, even here. All he managed were several silent gasps, shallow pants as his limbs trembled.
Basil was here. Basil was here. It was ok. Was it going to be? All Sunny could think was that he somehow failed - had failed them both and now not even blissful darkness had been his reward punishment.
Except… his vision was half dark. Frantically, he brought his hands up to cover it, that hole, that wound that surely Basil would panic over. That Basil had caused. His thoughts a jumbled mess.
CW: thoughts of suicide, panic attack, missing an eye (My brain - how fast can this escalate? ^^;)

Help. Go away. Help. LEAVE ME. HELP.]
