[ This odd moment in time. Somewhere that didn't seem to have consequences to what was real life up until now. Gotham is so far away. No one would ever know what they're doing here. The only person here outside of the two of them is never to be heard from again back home. Everyone he killed today will likely be back by the end of the week. No consequences so no one else here really matters.
Oswald is real. Solid. Cares. Matters. What would he be doing without him? This is important. The hand on the back of his neck - moved to rub his back had put a chill through him. Maybe because it's cold hands on warm skin. Or he's the cold one? Probably not. He's likely feverish. That's why everything feels like he's underwater. He doesn't pull back, even if he knows this is likely taking things another step forward. Forcing it. Another foot in the wat-- oh he fell in.
He snapped out of that in an instant. Sharp hot pain. Spinda meant well but he really lacks the mental capacity to realize things sometimes. Ed had to pull back somewhat, grinding the heels of a palm on his eyes. Tearing up is not the plan. He has to pull the other arm into himself before Spinda unintentionally hurts his wrist further trying to give him an apologetic pat on the hand during hug number 2. ]
You're far gentler with your love than he is. I'm becoming envious of your pain tolerance, Oswald. I underestimated how high it was. [ This is horrific. Ed needs stronger pain killers. ]
