Summary
*
Finney Blake doesn’t return from the basement. He walks out of the two doors separating his body and freedom and leaves himself behind. He still lives there. He still wakes up and he’s cold, cold enough that the tips of his fingers are purple with it, and there’s old sulphur clinging to his nose, and a phone ringing in his head.

Summary
Finney knew what everyone said about the Grabber. What he was supposedly doing to the boys he snatched up. The man had even referenced it before. Exhaustion weighed his limbs down, but he refused to go down without fighting.
Robin wouldn’t have given up like that. Wouldn’t have let the Grabber do those things without having fought like hell. If Finney could preserve just a fraction of his dignity despite the Grabber’s plans, then maybe he could face Robin again. To say he at least tried– after all, between the two of them, he’d never been the fighter.

Summary
Finney's not quite sure how to deal, now that he's back in the real world. It certainly doesn't feel that way. He knows that he's home now, but a part of him is somewhere distant. Far away. He can't feel what it feels, but he knows it's not good. He can't feel much of anything right now.
Then again, he's hardly trying to.
(OR: A small collection of events taking place about two weeks after Finney comes home from his captivity.)

Summary
"I go outside," Finn says dully.
"With friends," his dad adds.
Here we go, Finn thinks. He'd roll his eyes if the weed didn't make even that feel like a monumental task. He's pleasantly heavy and warm. The TV hums and crackles at a low, nearly inaudible volume.
"Whatever happened to that one boy you hung around with?" his dad asks. "He came around to drop off your homework once. What was his name?"
Finn stiffens.
