[For a moment, anxiety spikes inside of him and Will just as quickly soothes it with the clarification. He couldn't have gone out and he couldn't have dealt with fighting with Will over it. Eating is another story.
He watches Will move the basket of food over and his stomach clenches. He's hungry. Even if he can't feel it, he knows he is. Putting the food in his mouth though, chewing and swallowing one bite after another is almost enough to make him want to disappear into the shadows.
Will is right though. He has to eat. He should eat. (He doesn't want to.)
He wishes Will's hand was still on his cheek.]
Why...[He starts and his voice is a croak from lack of use. He swallows and tries again.] Why are you here? [In his right mind, he wouldn't have to ask. Now, he's dizzy and exhausted with lack of sleep, lack of food. Fear and loneliness have been his constant companions. The voice in his head plants every seed of doubt and Nico can no longer tell if the voice is his own or something darker.]
