Grain had been conscious for a few hours, refusing to open his eyes.
He could feel his body was different, like parts of it were gone.
Unlike the other times he was incapacitated, this time he knew what happened.
In fact, he remembered every second.
He could still feel the Specters tearing him apart, piece by piece.
He also remembered exiting the tear, and Remus taking him away. The memories were foggy, but he could connect the dots for what he didn't know.
'My arm is gone,' he thought. 'I think my left leg is to.'
A few more hours passed, as Grain relived the events in his mind. It could have been days or weeks, there was no telling how long he laid there.
Servants would come to feed and clean him, each time he would pretend to be unconscious.
He heard Remus's voice a few times, but still couldn't bring himself to look.
He knew once he opened his eyes, there was no going back.
