there's a rock of cement stabbing into the back of his neck -- that's the first thing he feels. in a flash, his eyes open, and suddenly the feeling of the cement, or any of the rubble under him doesn't matter. the daylight makes him groan, and shut his eyes all over again, but there's not relief to come with the action. his eyes hurt open, they hurt closed too.
romeo manages to come up into a sit, blinking and taking in the destruction that's all around him. everything before this moment feels a lifetime away in his memory, but everything now just feels like a haze. he's not certain what he should be looking at, but the panic hasn't hit him head on yet -- eyes moving slow and unfocused. it's hard to find any focal point with how much is around him, and how much his head is squeezing him.
something white and pink? no it's red, it's definitely red. something white and red comes into view, and for the first time, romeo's eyes hold on something. it's another couple of blinks before he realizes that's because of the hands that hold him there, holding each side of his face. dazed, smiling, "oh hello!"
