caduceus wakes with the sunrise, but unlike most days, he doesn't immediately get up to start on breakfast.
instead, he stays in the dome before the illusion is dispelled, watching the amber images of the nein pass him by. a few are of his reunion with his family, and he reaches out to touch them, watches his slender fingers phase through them, watches the speckles of amber warp under his touch like water, only to reform again. he watches the others too, things he doesn't know about โ younger versions of his friends, some with their respective families, some not.
his ears twitch in caleb's direction when the wizard stirs awake, and turns to smile at him when he sits up, still idly playing with the illusions.
"morning. how're you feeling? still you?"
