[Oh, God, sorry - ]

[There's a skip in his chest where a heart should be beating, pounding, and his throat goes dry. He's seen It before - seen It in the hollows his vision, and he knows It isn't real because everyone says It isn't real so It can't be real and so this - this can't be real either.]

[He's scrambling back, pressed against the wall. Panicking, maybe, or something worse.]

J- [No...no, no.] You're not - are you real?

( there's something familiar about him, once jessica looks at him closely. like she's seen a picture of him, or maybe she's met him before briefly, but it was a long time ago. considering jay had been that familiar too, his name making something inside of her lurch with worry and fear, she doesn't take this lightly. it could be her own memory failing her, or it could be something else - the same thing that made her lose seven months of memories over night, ending up in a hotel room next door to a man who wouldn't tell her anything.

and, well, obviously he knows her, if he's asking if she's real. someone who didn't wouldn't ask such a strange thing, and she wonders how many more people she's going to forget before whatever is happening is done with her. )

That's a weird question. Of course I am. ( she frowns, and almost as if there's nothing worrying going on, starts wringing the water out of her hair onto the floor without care. sorry, tim. ) As real as you are.

[Does she know him? At what point is she - ]

[There's no recognition. Or if there is, it's so vague and brief that there might as well not be. That makes things easier, in its own way. He's definitely a terrible person for thinking that, but the adrenaline is still pounding in his skull with the sickening beat of blood.]

[He'd laugh at that - as real as you are. Because it's doubtful that he's even real at all, most days.]

You...when'd you...

[He's just huddled there, shivering, gasping like a fish out of water as he scrambles to process this. Jay - shit. Jay's not gonna sleep until he knows she's safe. And then there's gonna be a hell of a lot of questions Tim can't answer.]

Do you...remember me?

( if jessica noticed him acting so strangely, huddled by himself and almost scared, she would have been more concerned than she's acting. instead she's kind of focused on her own shivering, her own discomfort in a strange new world with strange new things happening, looking over what normally she would notice. but the questions have her looking up from the water she's just dripped all over the floor, eyebrows raising. )

I mean, kind of? ( vaguely, but she can't place a name to his face. maybe he's a friend of a friend, or an acquaintance from college.

or from seven months of nothing. ) I've been having memory problems recently. Have we met before? I'm sorry if I don't remember.

[Kind of. It's not ideal, but it's better than the alternative. Tim screws his eyes shut, counting his breaths. The ice-cold of the water, slick against his lungs and his throat, is all in his head. Just stay awake. Just stay alive. Concentrate, concentrate.]

...no.

[It's not convincing. It's far from it, particularly when he started off their interaction the way he did. So he revises the statement, stumbling over the words:]

I mean...not really.

( that doesn't give her much of an explanation, and her displeasure with the answer shows in the way her lips turn into a frown. first jay refuses to give her answers, dances around them as though whatever it is he has to say will ruin her life, and now this guy is being— unconvincing, just as unhelpful. jessica has to wonder if all the men she meets from now on will be like this. )

Not really? What's that supposed to mean?

( and maybe she should apologise for being impatient, but it feels like everything is catching up to her, affecting her attitude - making her angry at someone who doesn't quite deserve it. )

I thought I knew you. Or I, uh...

[Fuck. He's supposed to be a better liar than this, but he's gonna blame it on the way being confined like this, huddled in a small, sectioned-off space and surrounded by water, is going straight to his head. She's understandably pissed at being kept in the dark. Again.]

I'm - look, I can't...I can't think here. I don't like -

[He doesn't like the water.]

'M sorry.

( jessica's expression scrunches up in concern. as disappointed as she was at the lack of answers, at his attitude— the poor guy is obviously not up for answering right now. pushing for them would make it worse, and as desperate as she is, jessica isn't cruel.

she takes careful steps forward, but doesn't come too close to him when she stops, sitting down across from him and folding her legs, hands clasped together in front of her. )

It's alright. I mean, tell me later instead, once whatever this is finishes. ( which, hopefully, it would. ) Are you alright?

I don't like water.

[It tumbles out too quickly, stops and stutters. She doesn't remember him. She doesn't know - how much does she not know? Is Jay just going to turn everything over in her head again and bring her back into all of this? Is she?]

Sorry, I...how long have you been here? Do you know?
