[ he still has his sense of touch, so he's able to feel claude's hands. he squeezes them, the only thing he can perceive in this empty void. he grips hard, because he's afraid that if he lets go, he'll never find his way out again. and though he still cannot hear himself—he can feel his mouth moving, but his words don't reach his ears—he pleads once more: ]
