"Not tired," he says, and he's telling the truth--he feels like he's going to vibrate out of his skin if he doesn't keep moving, his chest aching and his eyes burning. He shakes his head a little to clear it and tries not to think about how he can't remember when the last time he sat down was, let alone the last time he rested.

I'll be fine."
