[ Jesper can't go home. If he goes home he has to admit what happened and that all his hard work has been for nothing. He also can't make himself leave, he just goes from one place to the next, he's probably going to be kicked out soon. At this point he is still only spending his own money, which he's been hoarding, but he knows where this is all headed eventually. And he still can't stop. It feels hopeless. And incredible, he feels so powerful and bright too. He's jittery, twitchy.
He is about to head in when a surprisingly strong grip takes him and starts dragging him away. Jesper is genuinely shocked so he doesn't fight back at first, seeing that bright red hair and knowing who it is. They've talked about this. His guilt is immediate but not drowning, letting himself be manhandled. He feels both full of manic energy and absolutely worn out from fighting inwardly. The push up against the wall knocks the wind out of him.
Gray eyes do try to look straight for the open door, he can hear people in there laughing, and he wants to surge toward it, but Sylvain's in his face. Taking up his sightline. He breathes and looks at him, a little dazed. Not from the manhandling, from everything going on. The whispers, the vision. ]
Nothing, I'm fine. You're the one pulling a bloke around for no good reason.

[ Yes he's going to pretend at first. ]
