He looks alarmed a moment, patting until he finds his ears. Staring into the distance.]
...I'm not... [Richie's eyes fix back on her. Looking for an answer.] Where am I?
[He stares, looking to her wringing hands, her fretful eyes. His body is a screaming cacophony and his head is in a fog, but there's something sharp about the sight of her. Cleaving through the muddy mess.

[Christ, where does he start.]
I got my head messed with pretty bad over there. And even now that I'm back I'm having trouble keeping things straight. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, thank goodness! Is it—just the pain? Do you need anything? I can ask Maomao if you do—!
