Light is flashing behind his eyelids and it's too bright. He cannot bear to fully open them. He hears voices, one beside him and one in front of him. He is vaguely aware of a tugging sensation on his leg, but there is no feeling associated with it. Either he has been given something for pain, or he is still so far gone into unconsciousness that he is unable to register everything.

He wants to see who is near him. He knows it will hurt to open his eyes, but he decides to do it anyway, and briefly peels them back.

His eyes are instantly filled with a searing white light, but just before he must close them out of pain, a dark figure blocks the white. It is a girl, and though he only looks at her for half a second and is hardly able to see straight, he recognizes her. Something tugs in his gut. This is something can feel.

When he shuts his eyes her image is burned into his mind. And a minute later, when he is pulled back into sleep, his dreams are of her.
