[the painkillers have the merciful benefit of having a drowsy effect, so once they kick in, they can start to override dick panic and help lead buzzing thoughts down to a hazy mumble and some dubious sleep; Manabu doesn't remember actually falling asleep, just the thought that it'd be nice to hear Grey talk about his reading again.
niceness is abruptly cut off, because a few hours in the fear kicks back in - this time with a bit more of a fight to climb to the waking surface thanks to medicine (more's the reason to panic!). Manabu tosses, turns, thrashes, and ultimately yells himself to a sudden awakening, throwing himself upright with his hands lunging forward to grasp at something - anything - for fear of having to fight back.]
