Johnny presses immediately into Gabriel's hug, clutching at his shirt for a moment before reaching out to meet the TARDIS' hand. There's residual pain and panic still, but he's safe here with the two of them, and he can feel his heart rate and his breathing slowing, bit by bit. Eventually, once he feels like he can actually talk, he shifts back a bit, eyes downcast as though he's ashamed (and on some level he is, of course). He wishes he could just swallow it all up and never think about it again, but it'll always haunt him just like everything else, and anyway, they might be able to help him better if they know. He draws a breath and closes his eyes against their inevitable reactions.

"Two things," he says, spilling it out in a single, monotone presentation. "First, Zagreus attacks me, we fall in the water and he holds me under until I drown." He grimaces slightly. "I woke up and then... I guess I fell back asleep, and then, fucking immediately, this redheaded psycho woman shows up, I have no idea who she was, but..."

He gives an involuntary little shudder, the pain still etched into his skin. Just finish, finish the damn recap and then you can work on blotting it out. "She tried to make me tell her... my story? I don't know," he mumbles. "I don't even know what that means, but... when I told her I didn't want to, she... she hurt me."

He curls inward slightly and leans back against Gabriel, breathing out slowly. "And then I called you, and that's all."
