A/N: Heeeeeey. :) Hope your lives are going well. Thinking's epilogue is almost done, and I'm posting this as a prequel to two different drabble series that will begin in December. Until then, basically nothing will be updated, because NANOWRIMO HAS BEGUUUUUN! Best of luck to anyone else working on their NaNo, and I'll see you all later.
For anyone who wants to listen to me complain, my goodness, I have had the most stressful week. I'm drowning in homework, and all I want to do is sleep. Last week was amazing, though! I got to see Les Mis on Broadway (I simply have no words. It was freaking amazing) and I played in a chess tournament and tied for fifth place. It's nice to be around people who understand your love for moving little pieces around a board. :)

Be the reason someone smiles today! :D
They knew he had nightmares.
Their capsules were supposed to be soundproof, but screams managed to make it through anyway. Both Adam and Bree had woken repeatedly to a white-faced Chase slipping out of his capsule, wide-eyed and haunted. When an attempt from each to follow and help him, each met with shaky composure and rebuffs. They shrugged and accepted it, terrible as it was, as normal.
They never knew he needed them.
They never bothered to ask what was wrong.
They were both ashamed to realize later that after the first time, they'd never tried again.
