It's not a very easy thing, right now. The bathroom tile is cold, and their breath stinks of bile, and who would want to see them, looking like this? Hair a mess, sticking to their cheeks and their forehead, and if he's coming, then they - they'll have to make things a little better. It takes a wobbling lurch of motion, but they depress the handle that flushes the remnants of their dinner away in a wet gurgle, tottering to their feet, trying to iron away the glaze to their eyes, the glassy trail sloping down one cheek, with the butt of one palm grinding into their eyesocket.
It's not nearly enough time. There's a knock at the door, and their legs still feel jellylike, knees trembling like they might fold over at any moment.
Trip-stumble for the door, and the knob might as well be a foreign contraption for how much coordination it takes to twist and open, but eventually it does.]
