[Pratt doesn't recognize Sharky at first, he's seventeen years older and has a beard that any prepper would be jealous of, not to mention the head to toe Tommy Bahama.
But someone saying his name does keep Pratt from ending them unceremoniously with a shovel. He goes to back up away from whoever this is, only to find he can't. There's a weird sort of need to move that way which, ha ha okay now it feels like a Trial. Fuck. He's probably already failed at this point by hiding in the room for that long, and he's gonna get the shit kicked out of him by Jacob and then not fed for another day and...]
Sharky???
[He squints at the man, but now that what he said has registered in Pratt's messed up mind, that voice is unmistakeable.]
The.. fuck?
[That's a first, he's never had to kill Sharky in any of the Trials he's been put through before. Eli, sure. Hudson, Rook, the rest of the force.. but never Sharky. Jacob must be changing things up.
Though Sharky looks wrong, like his memory couldn't conjure the man up, probably from all the head trauma Pratt has sustained. He pokes him with the tip of the shovel, refusing to move even though his whole body wants to just give in and let the compulsion carry him away.]
