His head ached and throat felt raw. Bandages wrapped almost too tightly around his head; squeezing, making the ache worse. He tried to sit up, but a hand on his shoulder forced him back down.
"Easy." Wilford? Or maybe Google? He…couldn't tell with his mind so fuzzy.
The King. He remembered the King catching him. …Catching him what? Rewriting a victim's future, that's what it was. Changing the man's fate. Saving him. The King had been furious, as it wasn't the first time, but hadn't lifted a finger; yet he'd felt constrained the lift the pen off his desk as the older Ego stared him down. His mind had screamed not to, but limbs hadn't obeyed.
A twitch passed through him and eyes throbbed when he remembered driving the pen into his own eye. Twice, he'd done it. One time for each eye, completely against his will; he didn't remember anything more.
The bandages pressing painfully against his eye sockets were enough to tell him his eyes probably hadn't been saved.
