He collapses to the ground, his body following the arc of By's fist. Once there he begins to convulse as blackness mercifully takes him. A few minutes of this; then, gray exhaustion as the trembling dies away to nothing. During which Miles can do absolutely nothing to help himself. It's all up to By to keep the soldiers from noticing. ]
