Carter exhales, slumping a bit in his chair, wondering how one tiny word can be such a punch to the gut.
His hand comes up to rub at the top of his head. Okay. Dream or not, this is happening right now so he has to deal with it right now, whether he wants to or not. Just like in the real world, and for a moment he wonders if this is all some bizarre amalgam of his ER experiences after all. Whatever it is, it's probably best to learn all he can about it, no matter how disturbing or crazy.
He glances over at the landline, his fingers tapping nervously against the cup. The phone thing again. Earlier he hadn't given it much thought but what had sounded like a funny quip from his part now rings hollow in his ears.
