[He has the same nightmares, so he's awake. Seeing Stahn throw himself in front of Leon out there in that place had added a new dimension to the nightmares--one where Stahn wasn't okay, and where Leon ended up getting Stahn killed instead of saving him, and that arguably bothers him even more--but he doesn't want to wake Stahn, either.
Holing himself up and avoiding people hasn't worked too well.
But he doesn't know what would work better at this rate.
So he's awake for the text message, and it surprises him--and in the end, all he can do is sigh, eventually reaching for the CereVice even as he remains flat on his bed. She did ask politely.]
I am already awake. Of course I am fine.
[Of course.
As if he could pretend that easily that he's never been in a situation where he wasn't.]
