[The creepy thing is, there is no reaction time.

Accelerator doesn't immediately move to turn the alarm off. In fact, when it goes off he barely reacts at all. He slumps a little when Endo pulls away. Thankfully he made sure to sit with his back against the wall, because if he had to rely on his own strength to remain sitting up he'd be falling over.

His eyes catch the movement of Endo's hand directly in front of him, but it's like his brain is missing a gear. There's the surface level observation of 'that's a hand' and he blinks reflexively because there's motion directly in his line of sight, and that's about it. He can't put together why the hand is there waving, and he certainly can't understand what Endo is saying. His mind can't process the entire sentence properly and the words and meanings get all jumbled up. It comes out like:


Hey, take Your eYES off oF me.

He can't even parse that the remark is being directed at himself. There's no response as, essentially, Accelerator ignores it and looks down at the charger in his hand. The phone is still beeping and he doesn't do anything about it; instead, he uses his free hand to try and grab the battery between his thumb and his index finger. He's done this enough times to have memorized the movements of putting the battery into the charger, and taking it out and putting it back into the choker, so despite the brain injury hampering his cognition he's aware of what he needs to do to get back to his baseline. Unfortunately, his hand is trembling badly enough that he flat-out misses it the first two times.

Third time's the charm though, and he manages to get his fingers on the battery.]
