Hux was shocked. Why was Bill being like this? Why was he afraid? Did he not recognize him?
He shuddered at the thought that his brother might have been treated so harshly as to influence his memories. He quickly got to his knees and wrapped his arms around him.
“Bill, it’s okay, it’s fine, you’re safe. It’s me. It’s Armitage. Do you remember?… I… I’ve come to get you. You’ll be fine now.”
Techie lets out a shaky laugh. “S’just a lot to t-take in all at once… Maybe if I sleep I’ll m-make more sense of all this.” He thought of how many cycles ago he’d slept, and, upon coming up blank, shuddered.
“A bed and four years of sleep w-would hit the spot right about now,” Techie said, absolutely serious. His head pounded and he’d lost all control over his trembling limbs.
