also collapses here a couple of days later.....

[ in his incessant panic, roland hasn't realized that he might've attracted attention of some other people who are trapped in the vaults along with him. he couldn't care less about making a complete fool of himself, though. he just couldn't. he's so, so tired of having to keep a level head, especially upon remembering that awful, awful day --

but then fingers wrap around his, and he snaps back into reality with a couple blinks of his eyes. an unfamiliar-looking man is reassuring him, but welt may as well sound like he's miles away from roland's point of view right now. ]
