Hubert is trained to deal with many breeds of stress and terror. But not this dragging boredom. He spends each day researching and investigating, livng off coffee.
Literally. It seems other than Wu no one has seen him eating. And since the first day he hasn't slept in 'his' bed. Of course he HAS eaten and slept- he's still human. But by Sunday he looks exhausted. Eyes dark, hands jittering from caffeine.
A week straight of this shouldn't be an issue for him. But the paranoia of their circumstance and how exhausted he already was when he arrived are catching up. So on Sunday when he gets up from a note-taking session in the library that had lasted since the night before... the world suddenly tilts. Dark blooms on the edges of his vision and he has a moment to realize what's happening and twist himself to fall safely instead of on his face or landing on his wrist. But that's all he can manage before fainting dead-away.
