Summary
"Hunter?" comes a trembling voice. The hand moves from his numb and aching cheek to his forehead, brushing away soaked strands of hair. "H-Hunter, p—please move—"
As much as he doesn’t want to deal with this—as much as he would have loved to remain ignorant and floating in nonexistence forever—he can’t bear to hear that tone coming out of her mouth. He goes to grab her hand, to sit up, to do anything, but the weight of everything is overwhelming, and it’s too much to overcome. I’m here, he wants to reassure her, because Willow isn’t supposed to sound so gut-wrenchingly terrified, but his vocal chords don’t even flex, and his lips stay shut. I’m right here, I’m okay. I promise.
Or: After Hunter gets revived, he's trapped in his own body. The others don't know he's alive.

Summary
"He stands in the bathroom, the gentle hush of the showerhead a delightful, imposing, mind-numbing static.
"He must change his clothes. To do that, he must remove them. When he does, he will see only smooth and formless flesh. It will look like melting clay, coming in waves and pockmarks and random bouts of what might be some vague suggestion of muscle or bone. Then the new clothes will not be tight—they will be like a sheet draping over a clothesline, drifting in the wind, an imperfect mold."
Or: The incident leaves Danny without a solid form.

Summary
"The air is sour. It stings his throat, his eyes, but there's a pressure in his chest that constricts and chokes. He can't breathe and the air smells of ash.

There is panic in the air, sharp and heady, and it all burns. His heart is heavy and struggling ... he can hear nothing but panic through the waves of water drowning everything out."Panic, and the sensation of emptiness, of loss.
"Something very important is gone."
