When he sees that Jesus is focused on his pulse, he lifts their other joined hands and, so, so gently, works his own hand free so he can spread Jesus's palm on his own chest. So he can feel his own chest rise and fall with each breath.
He lifts his eyes back to Jesus's, and lets them sit like that for a few cycles of breath.
"Your heart is beating," he offers, quietly. "Your lungs are working. Your skin is warm, your muscles work, and you know yourself. I don't have a philosophical answer, but you were born human. You're alive now. These are facts."
