open log for sad pathetic orphaned teens
Who: Danny and YOU!
When: October 22nd to 25th, roughly?
Where: Locke City University Hospital
What: Danny's just survived a mafia attack. His family....not so much.
Warnings: uhhh, more angst than I typically go for?
[Most of Danny's time since the attack has been spent in one of three ways: trying really hard not to completely freak out, numbly staring into the distance, and sleeping. The latter hasn't been going so well, though, because of nightmares, so he's mostly down to trying not to freak out (with very little success), and feeling too blank to freak out.
It's not a great way to exist, but he can't think of anything else to do in this hospital bed. He could connect to the network but...he's kind of scared to. He doesn't know what he'll find on there, and he isn't sure he wants to find out.
But as far as staring at a blank white wall and choking back tears goes, this isn't so bad.]

[He can explain more but he doubts Danny would care for an info dump on classical music analysis.]
no subject
Danny doesn't know how a bunch of music could possibly do anything of consequence to him, but that's probably what he thought the last time he did something like this, too. He's not about to take any chances. As much as this hurts, as much as it sucks, Danny isn't interested in following in his past life's footsteps.
It takes him a good while to respond, and when he does, he tries to be very firm even as his voice wavers.]
No. N-no, I--no. I can't.
no subject
Okay. I'll just uh, leave it here in case you feel like listening later -
[Or should he really do that when Danny sounds like the mere suggestion makes him want to cry?]
Or do you just want me to delete it?
no subject
[The answer is immediate and emphatic. His fists are clenched in the blankets of his bed.]
no subject
[He's a little alarmed. This is more than just not feeling like listening to cheerful music, somehow the suggestion cut deep. Which is why Emil finds himself apologizing.]
Sorry. [Awkward silence.] I uh, I should leave.
no subject
I--I'm sorry too. Thanks anyway.
[He can tell this got awkward really fast, but he can't bring himself to explain it.]
no subject
[What do you even say now. "Bye"? "See you around"?]
Take care.
[And he shows himself out.]
