Summary
“I almost died,” Riley said, quiet, muttered, gaze distant, more to himself than anything.
Carefully, carefully, Ben helped him lower himself to the ground. His own heart was racing, even though he knew that this was a logical reaction for Riley to have. As bad as it sounded in his own mind, he hoped Riley got over things quickly; he’d carry his friend if he had to, but they wouldn’t get far that way. They couldn’t afford for true shock to set in, not now.
“I know,” he said, gentle, “I know. It’s alright. Ian’s gone now.”

Summary
“Riley,” Ben said. “It’s just water.”
Something behind Riley's eyes changed. Ben wasn’t sure if he was even breathing until his entire body spasmed with an exhale.
“No. I’m not doing this,” he muttered under his breath. Ben grabbed him by the wrist when he turned to go.
“It’s just water."
“No—Ben, let go,” Riley said urgently.
----
It turns out that after nearly drowning in a cave, water is a bit of a difficult subject to breach.Series

Summary
“It’s not supposed to be you,” tumbled out of Riley’s mouth, his eyes still shut, his shoulders still hunched, his hands buried in his core.
“What’s not supposed to be me?” Ben prompted. Riley shrank back from the hand that tried to squeeze his shoulder.
“Dying.”
——
Set a few weeks after Book of Secrets. The rain drives Riley into Ben’s house where he tries to dismantle a microwave, has a panic attack or two, and learns that he, apparently, is not expendable.
