Creeping through the night like a criminal
Every flash of light is subliminal
I'm under the gun
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide from this ritual
Every little noise used to trigger me
But I am caught in the undertow
In the undertow
Every flash of light is subliminal
I'm under the gun
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide from this ritual
Every little noise used to trigger me
But I am caught in the undertow
In the undertow

[It's been ages since he smoked last; for good enough reason, given his health over the years. Tonight, he breaks that dry spell. Sitting in the sofa while Ben washes up after dinner, he lights up a joint. And, of course, waits for the anticipated question the second the smell or smoke wafts.]

[He’s up late again, and this time, he isn’t feeling well. Not physically, not really, just… a deep and wide well of sadness that he wrangles with some days.
Quietly, he pads down the hallway, and climbs into bed beside his sleeping companion. Tucks himself close.]

The walls are too close now, I’m panting for air
And I still cannot remember how I got here
Unable to focus, it’s all monochrome
In this unbearable cold

Jayce,
So I play along, and I stand aside
And I turn away, try not to collide
With the strength to fear, am I paranoid?
'Cause it doesn't feel like I'm yet destroyed

He gets up, careful not to disturb Ben, and goes out to the kitchen. Makes some tea, and

[Ben living with Viktor is very much the same thing as Ben living alone. Or, with anyone, for that matter.
He's ready at all times to leave at a moment's notice, and the environment in which he exists reflects that. Clean, sparse, practical without sacrificing beauty for efficiency. Sometimes
