[ When he hears it, he goes completely still.
The shadows, he can handle. They look like spiders, skittering across the floor in front of him, hissing from the walls. But they can't get him here. Not in the lighthouse. This is his safe place, in the middle of the floor, with his lead pipe. Nothing can get him in the sun. The whispers, he can handle. They waft through the room on the wind, let me in, LET ME IN, slam against the wall and rattle at the door, but Jesse can tune it out if he hums loud enough, working his way through every song in his mental database. He's halfway through Little Lion Man, voice hoarse, when he hears it.
And it stops him dead.
And it's about half an hour before the sun goes down that Galen Howard will receive a very distressed call from a one Jesse Finch. ] Galen, Galen Galen Galen, pick up, please, Galen -- no, shut up, m'not listening to you, you can't touch me. Y'can't, you're not -- Galen --

Talking with Wallie lasted longer than he expected, and by the time he got back, Galen wasn't in his room. So Jesse took residence in one of the other empty rooms and ended up sleeping through the rest of the night and day. He was so tired.
But when he gets up, he gets coffee. Brings it to Galen's room early, like earlier than Jesse feels like he should be up at, it's like seven -- and knocks on the door. ]
Hey. You awake, baby? [ Jesse says against the door, gnawing on his lip. ]
