Jay wants to shrug it off, roll his eyes, spit something back like we can’t know that for sure or you’d like to believe that, wouldn’t you.
But he’s seen the footage.
He’s forgotten a lot—understatement of the century—but he thinks he’s starting to remember what it felt like, before he found that tape. Before that last trip to Rosswood. He remembers what it was like to watch himself, dull-eyed and muttering nonsense. He remembers watching himself scream.
He didn’t make that appointment just because Tim forced him to, did he?
Pausing to collect his thoughts, Jay watches Tim out of the corner of his eye.
“How can you tell?” The snide sarcasm has faded, replaced by a quiet wariness. “When you start taking something, how do you figure out if it’s...like, working?” A muscle in his jaw twitches. “And not making things worse?”
