[ If he could hear her thoughts, they'd be like knives at his throat. If only it was the Raven Queen stopping him. If only it wasn't his own ineptitude, his inability to save a person the first time.
Alex forces himself to smile at her, the feel of her gentle fingers around his wrist. Keep her focus on him, not on Beaky, doing her best to provide pressure on the cuts without, you know, hands. ] Yeah, it's okay. Just like that. You're doing great.
[ ...If only that damn static would stop. It's far too loud, and he wishes they could just get some quiet. Alex talks louder. He'll drown it out, if he has to. ]
Hold on to me tight as you need to, Sayori. Soon as we got this done... Soon as that, I'll get you right out of here. [ He's talking to her, he's talking to whatever thing is listening in on them. ] I'm not leaving you, I'll- I'll bust down the fuckin' wall if I have to, no one is going to make you do this again.
[ Keep talking. Keep her attention on him. Drown out the static. Keep her focused. He hopes she can't feel his pulse at his wrist, going a mile-a-minute. ]
