[It took Adam a moment - no, more like two or three - to get his bearings. But he recognized Hadriel quickly, even after the passage of time at home, after everything that happened. It's jarring to wake up there again, upsetting and strange, especially considering what he left at home. His mind races, his thoughts confused. Still worried about Ronan, about Blue and Henry, still shattered at the sight of Gansey's body on the ground. Still in shock, more than a little, still thinking of ways out of it. The demon, the forest, Glendower's body.
Adam's face is bloody and scratched. He can worry about that later. For now, he nearly runs home. The door opens easily, and everything - everything seems the way it was when they left, he thinks. It's hard to remember exactly. Not too much time passed at home, not really, but Adam didn't remember Hadriel at all. It's a function of the place, maybe, or the Door, he doesn't know. But there's the couch Gansey sleeps on, there's a discarded jacket on the floor that's probably Ronan's. There's a pile of incomprehensible books from the library. There's an art project, or something like it, Gansey's or Ronan's.
It's all the same. It was all real.
He's back.
Does that mean Blue is here? Ronan? Noah? His thoughts flinch away from Gansey, because how could that be possible, but Adam met people here who had died back home. It's not impossible. It's not.]

Hello?
[His voice wavers. He steadies it, with effort.]
Is anyone here?
