Royce keeps moving but - the air is heavy and he feels like he can't breathe, like he's feeling what these people went through. And he feels it loud and clear - with nothing to dampen his emotions, it's overwhelming. He steps on a bit of broken teeth and fractured bone, and the crunch of it makes him think of the tower, of weeks ago, the way that his own bones sounded as Alphonse cut his fingers.
His breath catches and shudders, and without the haze over him, the fright curls up in his chest and threatens to suffocate him. Royce holds on very tightly to Alfie, pausing in the middle of the room and trying to catch his breath. ]
