They were on a call. Did something happen? Was there a fire? He’s distracted from his thoughts by the feeling of something scraping against his foot. His foot jerks away without any conscious thought. A nurse glances up and writes something down on a clipboard before asking, “Eddie? Can you blink your eyes for me?” Eddie complies. It takes effort, a lot more than it should but, he does. “Good. That’s good, Eddie. Do you know who this is? Blink once for yes, twice for no,” the doctor says. He’s gesturing to Buck. Eddie blinks once, his eyes focused on Buck’s face. “Reflexes are still intact. Sensation appears present, and responses are appropriate for what we would expect transitioning out of a minimally conscious state,” the doctor explains. Buck is nodding along like this makes sense. Minimally conscious state? What does that mean? December. They said December. Wait. Minimally conscious state? That’s a coma, right? Has he been in a coma? -Or- The shooting leaves Eddie in a coma. Eight months later, he wakes up to a life he barely recognizes. For eight months, Buck has tried his best to hold it together. Now that Eddie’s back, he can finally breathe again, right?
