He is not prepared for the vision in front of him. How could he be? He's never seen anything like this, not outside of his own head. Being braced against intrusion does not brace him against the awful sound of it, and he flinches--his body pulling the rest of him along with it as he startles suddenly backwards and knocks his head into the corner of the dresser.

He groans, swears, grabs at the back of his head--which very quickly turns into him holding the sides of his head with his eyes closed, his ears still ringing with something that may or may not be a mess of his own creation.

"Sorry..." He says, through his teeth. It's probably to Phalanx, or whatever he just saw inside of them. But he isn't sure. He thinks that was real, but his head hurts.
