Summary
There's something oddly peaceful about walking through the city at night. It's quieter than the day, but there's still enough noise that Eddie doesn't feel alone as he goes.
The route home from his job is familiar and Eddie thinks he could probably do it with his eyes closed if someone dared him to. It's all muscle memory at this point, the same steps worn into the pavement over the last six years, right down to the pit stop at the corner store down the street from his apartment building for cigarettes and a snack or two.

Summary
Eddie wakes up confused.
The room he’s in looks different than the last one he remembers and it takes a moment for him to remember the needle that pierced the skin of his neck, that pulled him down into unconsciousness. Jolting into a sitting position, he groans and promptly lowers himself back down. It feels like his brain is trying to break free of his skull with how much his head pounds at the movement.
“Oh, you’re awake,” a voice says to his left and Eddie rolls his head just enough to see a different girl than before sitting in an armchair several feet away. “That was fast.”
