---
Reese is an TDI OC of mine.
He went on the show to try to earn enough money and prove his worth to his family.
When things get back and tensions rise, Reese refuses to sleep so he can keep the others safe on the island until help arrives.
When it’s clear help wasn’t going to arrive any time soon, things got even worse as infighting began.
Noah wanted to see if they could find a way off the island on the other side, and Duncan had refused.
By the time Reese could get them both calmed down, Noah was still angry and stormed off.
Reese had wanted to go after him, but Duncan said it would be better to let him go on his own for a while.
By nightfall Noah hadn’t returned and Reese went looking for him, only to find his body in the water.
When they made it off the island, the image still haunts him as well as the guilt.
Reese had a mental breakdown over the stress and is in a high security psych ward to prevent himself from harm.
But the guilt still weighs at him. People don’t look like people anymore. Just faceless and un detailed, like blank canvases.
Not sleeping isn’t a choice now. He can’t sleep. Every time he closes his eyes, the sight of Noah’s body is still there.
He blames himself for Noah’s death.
If only he had gone with him…
Noah would still be alive.
