The clank of the air conditioner compressor kicking on jolted Alejandro upright. He'd been stuck in that superposition between sleep and daydream for 3 hours, so the shock of compressor combined the sensations of falling off a building whilst also being hit in the head with a cartridge with rattling nails. Back sore, feet swollen, nose dry like in the midddle of a long-haul flight. Fitting, because he had done just that.
