If anything, it gets worse and Robby hesitates for another moment longer
and then he pushes open the door that leads into Jack's bedroom. The light
from the bathroom is dim, but it's enough to make out Jack twisted
hopelessly in his sheets, his hands fisted in his pillowcase. He can see
how much Jack is sweating, the sheen on his bare back. Academically, he
knew that Jack probably had to have nightmares -- it's part and parcel of
the PTSD diagnosis -- but this is the first time he's seeing it happen.
There's an alarm chiming in the dark. It takes Robby a moment to realise
that it's Jack's smart watch.
"Jack?" he says, voice soft as he pads towards the bed. "Hey. Jack."
