That was definitely better. The moment Shannon pulled away, Eli's hands moved to hug himself as his eyes stayed locked on Shannon as he moved around. His chanting of Shannon's name quieted down so that only Eli could hear it and so it wouldn't cover him speaking. No matter what, he would listen and focus just as Shannon said to.

Hearing Shannon start singing caused some confusion before he continued to listen and focus on his voice. His voice and the beat of the song was pulling him into a state that was far less manic and more relaxed. His mind was only just starting to slow down a bit and settle. When Shannon returned to the bed, he let out a soft sigh. "Okay. Listening and focusing. No thinking. Everything's still fluttering. Like birds."
