[ the most unsettling thing for him had been the lack of anything from his spider-sense for most of it. he doesn't know if it's a side effect of the dream, or the fact that it was a dream. maybe the only sliver of hey! danger! that he did get was rooted in the outside world, in something coming to pass there, since apparently they weren't in any real danger in the dream — physical or mental. ]
Truthfully? I don't know if they were capable of speech. Someone or something coughed before we got down there — we followed the noise, but there's no way of knowing who it came from. [ beat. ] There's gotta be a reason they were covered in sheets, right? Some kind of plague or disease, maybe. Maybe they'd died and that's what happens before we come back, maybe it's from before someone figured out how to bring the dead back. You know, kind of like Frankenstein's monster? We just need to figure out where Victor is.
Half the stuff I say is just for me, don't worry about it. Pepto-Bismol's for nausea and an upset stomach, it's not going to help, so just—. Forget it.
But no: we turned tail pretty sharpish. I don't know if anything would've happened if we'd come closer to getting away, but whatever it was, it doesn't play nicely with skin and bones.
