    Summary

    “If I went to Evermore for break, Riko would pull Proust. I told him I’d go, but I’d need proof of him holding up his end of the deal. When I got to Evermore, Proust was dealt with.”

    Andrew felt his world tilt on its axis. He tried to parse through his days at Easthaven to determine when Proust was replaced by the new doctor and realized it happened a few weeks into his stay - before the Foxes began break. Meaning Neil was telling the truth. But he couldn’t be. He couldn’t have gone through whatever happened in the Nest for Andrew. People didn’t shield Andrew from tragedy; they used him to protect themselves.

    Like he could hear the battle in Andrew’s head, Neil murmured, “You always have our backs – I needed to watch yours.”

    *****
    Instead of Neil picking Andrew up from Easthaven, Andrew is there when Wymack returns from the airport with Neil and has to deal with the consequences of someone giving their all to protect him.

    Summary

    The doctor took a pause, which Nathaniel was able to use to ask, “what about my leg?”

    The two pigs had the audacity to look surprised. The doctor looked over at them with a hint of confusion. “You didn’t tell him?”

    Towns shook his head as Browning said, “you told us not to.”

    Dr. Byrd nodded her head in approval and turned back to the bed. “Nathaniel…” she trailed off, reevaluating her words. “Would you mind if I sit?” and only after his own nod did she. “The damage done to your leg… it was unlike what most of the staff at this hospital had ever seen. The surgeons tried to save it, but…” She looked down at where his legs were and Nathaniel did too, only to feel himself pale at what he found.

    “The surgery took about three hours,” Dr. Byrd continued. “The only reason why it took so long was because the surgeons really did try to save your leg. They did. Amputations usually take only half that time. Eventually, Dr. McCoy called it. Because of the damage done to your leg, we couldn’t wake you up to ask. It had to go. I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    Life goes on after the Foxes win the championship, and for Andrew and Neil it's uncharted territory with only each other for guides. Maybe it's time to put away some of those hard edges, and learn how to touch more softly, and speak more honestly. And if they falter, they have their family to help them get back on their feet.
