Sollux has had his good days and his bad days since he arrived on Earth, and this is turning out to be one of the bad ones.
His mood has always been unpredictable, but in the wake of what's happened to him, it's become absolutely smothering. Some days it's almost like nothing is wrong. Then, he has days like this, where his friend being only a few minutes late has him expecting the worst.
What if this is a trap?
The thought comes suddenly, and with depressing earnesty. It's the kind of thoughts that creep up on him constantly, on the edges of sleep and in quiet moments. What if someone is going to take him again? What if he can't stop them?
He sees Karkat's message, but irrational fear keeps him from being able to answer. He just keeps looking at the message and pacing around, his psionic flickering in the air around him, until Karkat actually appears.
He stops suddenly and just stares at him, like he's waiting for some other shoe to drop.
