Sebastian can hear you Loki. Just barely over the screaming in his head. But when his eyes meet yours, a reaction more than a conscious effort to respond to your words, he isn't seeing you. He see's them.

Stripping him of his skin as they morph into familiar faces, torn and bleeding and full of rage he has never witnessed in his loved ones before. Not human. Just pretending to be to torture him.

And it's working. All over again as he struggles to see past the images, past the tears, past the pain. He's trying to see you, Loki.
