[ There's a relief in waking up, sort of. The same relief that comes after any nightmare turns out to be a nightmare, at a base level. When Finn's eyes fly open, heart pounding so hard it's almost painful, the relief isn't enough to matter.
The logic of it all falls apart the more he thinks about how it unfolded, but it was real, it felt so real. He's up and pulling his own boots and a jacket on without even stopping to think about it, device shoved haphazardly into one of the pockets. Shoutout to Poe if he's not out somewhere else tonight tbh, Finn's outta here with all the grace and dignity of an angry elephant.
When he hears his communicator go off and fishes it back out, the relief of seeing Chyler's name on the display is so much more powerful than anything else could have been. He was just thinking--
No, it's probably not anything good if she's calling at this time of night, is it? Finn answers almost immediately. Not to worry, he sounds very much awake and urgent. ]
Are you okay?
