[ there's a trial, and then another trial, and then he's back in his workshop, and then there's something out on his property, fucking around. by the time david wakes up he's still out there dealing with it.
he's been gone long enough that the fire in the forge-slash-furnace has faded down to a dull glow, leaving the workshop barely lit. the few lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling are off. the whole place is mostly shadows, hiding anything that might be a trap.
although he doesn't trap the workshop these days. he leaves what he needs to deal with trespassers on high shelves for when he catches them. it's outside, just past the door, where the traps start. what gets missed on the way in generally catches on the way out. except most people are getting good at avoiding them. it's almost pointless now.
david won't have any issues leaving, but once he's outside he'll hear the clear sounds of a struggle not all that far away. because it's the thing that is and isn't a person out there, the one nobody has a name for, caught in four traps and still trying to beat him to death or whatever it does, and evan really doesn't know how to deal with it. ]
