[Sharky doesn't text Giles until late in the day, after Pratt has calmed him down and he's tried ~~and failed~~ to get his head around... everything. He's read through the texts between "him" and Giles, and the ones that followed, a couple of times now, repeatedly coming to the same conclusion based on the timestamps alone.]

im really sorry giles
idk what happend but i kno u came 2 check on me
but not me
then the txts all change n i kno that means somthin bad happned

im so sorry
i hope ur ok now
i hope ossies ok
i can return the key so u kno i cant come in if i get posessed again
im really sorry

[ It's during the afternoon of the 4th that Giles finally remembers his phone exists. He spends half an hour paging through and staring at message after message that he can't make sense of until he reaches the ones Sharky was referring to. The first ones that sound solid somehow, there's a memory of a dream of the person who sent them, but they still don't fully make sense.

It's another 20 minutes after that before Giles remembers there was a new message he had yet to respond to ]

Mr Wuthridge is as well as can be expected given the circumstances. There is no need for you to return the key, but I would prefer it if you did not use it for the foreseeable future. Thank you for the concern. Giles.

[A couple days go by and Sharky figures that's just, you know. That. And then he gets a text, and he hates, hates, hates every word of it. Not in an indignant "I didn't do anything" kinda way, but a deep, awful, ugly hate for someone he's never met. For all these ghosts' sake, he better not meet them in the future.]

ok
im gonna stay away from u dw you dont ever gotta look at me again

[ Giles just stares at the reply for what feels like hours, the words themselves make sense but he can't work out why it hurts to look at them. This is good, is it not? Someone who violently betrayed him is willing to stay away without argument. That's supposed to be a good thing, he's sure. Maybe there's something else he's forgotten, or maybe the heavy ceramic bottle had only been a dream and that's why it doesn't make sense.
Does it really matter either way? ]

I don't want that. I simply need some time to think. You should speak to Mr Wuthridge. He understands things better than I at this juncture.
