The last thing Toki remembered before everything went black was looking at Murderface then turning to see his parents in the studio. After that, there was nothing. He was in his own happy place, far away from his parents and away from the pain he remembered they caused him.
Toki was not aware of the concerned stares he got from his band mates, or the almost silent reassurances when no one else was around to hear. He didn't notice when he was gently led places or force fed food so that he wouldn't starve. All he was aware of was that real life was no longer safe and until it was he was not going to leave his safe haven.
Their eyes, oh yes Toki could feel them. Feel their cold gaze upon him even in his safe place. He could feel their gaze long after they left to go back to Norway. Because he still felt it, he knew it still wasn't safe so he staid in his sanctuary.
Eventually, Toki did open his eyes, so to speak, back into the real world. He was in the living area sitting with the rest of the band. No one said anything as Toki got up and started to walk around on his own, but it felt as if a weight had been lifted from the room.
Every time it took longer and longer to wake up and leave his safe place. Looking at each of his band mates Toki smiled knowing that even if they denied it they would always be there when he came back, no matter how long it took.

Oh, and if anyone still cares or even remembers I have started (finally) on the next chapter for the Good Nights Stories story. So, yeah.
