All eyes are now focussed on Adam, who doesn't appear to be noticing the rest of us. In fact, he isn't noticing anything, as he appears to be staring as though in a trance.
"Adam", says Lazarus softly to him. "Adam." he doesn't respond, then Adam's eyes close and his head bows forward. Lazarus begins to gently massage his shoulder and back. "Adam", he says, "We are here. Adam, we are here. Adam, we are here." At first he doesn't appear to respond, but then his eys are open, and slowly he raises his head up. He blinks several times, turns to his friend and says, "Hello."
"Hello", says Lazarus.
"We are here?" he mumbles, still groggy.
"We are here, Adam,. "We are seated together on the couch in the house of Carl and Melissa. and we are surrounded by friends."
"Are we?" asks Adam
"Indeed you are", says Carl, with a very concerned smile on his face. "You are surrounded by friends."
"Did it just happen again?" Adam says to Lazarus.
"It happened again", he says, sighing. "But you pulled out of it unusually fast this time."
"Somebody please explain to us what is going on", says Carol, a little bit indignant...
