He doesn't wake with a start this time, but that doesn't mean the nightmare's lingering effects aren't still there. It had all been so slow this time, Billy unable to move or even speak in the nightmare, and once again, totally unable to save Teddy.
As messed up as the nightmares are, they aren't surprising. What does disturb Billy is the frequency and intensity -- and since blurting it out to Teddy when he'd lost his memories, he knows they worry him, too.
Billy makes a disgruntled noise when he lifts his head off the couch, his math book creased into his cheek. He looks around long enough to see Teddy, then drops his head back down. Onto the hard cover of the text book.
"Ow."
