The Riptide

------------------------------
Returned after a month (?) of seclusion at Jasper's house.
Spared and likely saved from death via iron poisoning by Jasper and The White Rabbit, though left scarred and feeling somewhat like a shell. Completely riddled at with anxiety at thought of returning to Bronte to collect his meager belongings, so alternated between mooching off Jasper and living on the beach. Hiding his face as best he can, ashamed (and afraid of) the extensive scarring.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Exposed for hiding parts of his earnings before collection time each week. Cornered by his pimp, Shawe, and mutilated to make an example of. Threatened with worse if he did such a thing again, and then the man urinated on his prone body before leaving! Passed out, woke up and dragged himself to his portal key. Collapsed in the Pond.

Found later by Jasper, thought at that point he wasn't lucid enough to realize who he was. Panicked at his touch but calmed by the other boy's broken spanish. Faded, and came to when Jasper half dragged him out of the Pond. Screamed at the abrasion to his injuries until he couldn't anymore and then just rasped and gurgled. Worsened as the day continued, shaking and sweating; iron created wounds refused to stop bleeding.

Taken out of the forest to BE HELPED by Jasper.
