During the first few hours of sleep he’d gotten in stars knows how long, Techie had a dreamless, comforting rest. He kept perfectly still and practically fell into a coma… but then slipped in the memories.
MaMa’s face hovering over him, the split second of ice cold terror between her fingers darting towards his eyes and feeling them carving his eyes out of their sockets, screaming, so much screaming, he can’t- HE CAN’T–
Techie awakes with an inhuman shriek and throws off the covers, scrambling to his feet before he can realize where he is.
Techie gasps and falls back onto the bed, mech eyes wild. His gaze snaps to Hux’s face, and he pulls back instinctively from his brother’s touch. The horrified sobs slowly subside into breathless hiccups. “H-Hux, I’m sorry…”
