There is nothing but darkness. For a brief moment there had been pain, fiery and sharp, and then nothing. David has no idea how long he's been like that, whether it's moments or hours or even days. In truth it's split, wandering in that darkness for hours as if there vastness of the universe held him in that moment.

Barely moving, shifting his fingers to try and figure out where he is without alerting others in case it's not safe. Yet he feels someone there, not by touch but he knows she's there.

"Please tell me, at least, they didn't ruin my suit," he murmurs softly without opening his eyes.
