( all he could do was smile at her, face swollen and bruised from the injuries he faced but past the ugly reminders of what he was put through, all he could do was bask in the happiness of this moment. what he asked of her was a blind request with no expectations of reciprocation of an actual answer anytime soon. with her saying yes, his heart felt healed for onceโ all of the angst and bitterness he had towards the world was quelled right then and there, and even if he was still a bit angry with jigsaw, he couldn't help but thank him in a weird way.
he certainly would have gone a darker path if it weren't for that wake up call in reality. he would have found a way to ruin things with maria, he's sure of it, led to them breaking up and another cycle of depression and apathy for him. instead he had the courage now to tell her how he felt and what he wanted, and as she affirmed her love for him, he looked at her with eyes full of love and passion. )
When have I ever told you that you were annoying me? I love all the attention you give me.
( certainly far more private and personal than the attention she gave to customersโ but as they sat there, nurses began to fill the room, noticing the change in his heartbeat [excitement from what they had discussed] and ushered maria out in order to bring in the police. jigsaw was hot on their trail, and adam was a new key witness for them to prod and probe.
โ
a month had passed since adam had crawled his way out of that dark room and made his desperate escape back to the apartment he knew. there were a number of unique changes that occurred in his life after being set free into the world, changes he could have never handled on his own without maria. apart from the police threatening him, accusing him of somehow being compliant in his own abduction given he had taken photos of the other captive, there was a strange popularity surrounding him. he was being contacted for work he had never even considered beforeโ photographing at events such as weddings, escape rooms, being offered a chance to talk about his experience on day-time talk shows, and being asked to call into all kinds of radio stations to talk with other 'survivors' and form some kind of jigsaw survivor group.
what he was focused on now though was his new life with maria, and getting compensation for the ordeal the city and law enforcement put her through. )
Hey babe, can you get me a pack of smokes when you get a chance?
( by now the two had settled into a new apartment with money provided by local charities and organizations. his wounds had mostly healed by now, but his leg still required to be in a cast and he was mostly wobbling around their home with a crutch in hand. the kindness he so rarely saw from humanity was now in full swing, with local organizations offering both help to him and maria, even offering to fund a wedding dress for her upon hearing the news.
currently he was in the kitchen, tv on low towards a news channel talking about jigsaw and his newest kidnappees, a group of former criminals on parole. he watched briefly before turning it off as maria walked in. )
I uh....got the documents faxed over to me right now. If you wanted to go over it but we do need a witness. You said you had a twin sister right? Think she'd come?
doing a little time-skippy
