    Summary

    Robert’s been in a coma for a week. Actually, 6 days, 14 hours and just under 20 minutes.

    Aaron has barely taken his eyes off of him the whole time, taking up residence in the uncomfortable visitor’s chair by the bedside in the hospital room. He’s only left the room a few times, to shower and occasionally to eat. He would have been kicked out many times by now but Liam had pulled some strings with a hospital administrator he used to work with so he’s allowed to stay.

    So he sits, and stares, and cries. And seethes.

    Summary

    “Aaron… I’m working on Christmas day. At the farm, I told Moira this morning that I’d cover it so she could have some family time.” Robert’s eyes are tracking his face as Aaron takes this in.

    “But, why would you do that? We’ve got plans?”

    “Well, no, you’ve got plans.” Robert insists, brow furrowing, and Aaron's confusion must show on his face because he continues, “Your mum, Mandy, Mackenzie, I wasn’t invited to any of that, you were.”

    Aaron thinks back over the day, and okay, maybe none of them had explicitly said that Robert was invited, but “Well, it was implied!”

    Summary

    The process for coming out of hiding wasn't something Andy had spent much time thinking about. When it had popped into his head over the years, it had ached just to consider it, so he pushed it to the side. There had been talk about staying in contact, but that hadn’t materialised and over time it became another thing Andy just didn’t contemplate. Even though he had had faith in it at first - Robert had been so sure.

    He’s nothing if not thorough, his brother, and before Andy left, Robert told him he'd set up a convoluted rabbit hole of forwarding addresses in order to be able to give Andy updates. “Coppers will probably be monitoring anything digital, so we go back to basics. Snail mail.” All Andy had to do was call a regional postal office in Dusseldorf, Germany and add one further address once he got settled. Andy assumed either the system hadn’t worked as well as Robert had hoped, or maybe Robert just hadn’t bothered to send any, because he never received any letters.

    That is until 9 years after he’d left the village, when a postal van pulls up to the farm he’s working on and asks for Brian Moore.

    Robert never gave up on Andy. Now Andy won't give up on him.

    Summary

    Robert's presence is jarring- not just because of the intrusion, but because he's clean. Crisp white shirt, hair perfectly tousled, smelling faintly of expensive cologne. It’s a stark contrast to Mack’s rumpled hoodie and the stale air clinging to the room.

    Mack shifts uncomfortably, the contrast between them too obvious. Robert doesn’t seem to care- of course he doesn’t. But Mack can’t stop noticing how put-together Robert looks, like someone who’s got their shit together, and that just makes Mack feel more like a mess than he already does, even though he's one hundred percent sure Robert is nowhere near being actually put together.

    -

    In the aftermath of John, Mack has a difficult time going outside. Robert helps.

    Summary

    There’s more people Robert recognises, now. Some of them come up to him and say hello – Bob, David, Tracy. Others just stare and retire to their tables to whisper unsubtly. Sam and Belle Dingle practically recoil when they see him, and hurry over for what Robert can only imagine is an Emergency Dingle Summit with Chas. By the time the pub’s half full, everyone in it seems to be whispering or texting, some doing both at once.

    Robert’s starting to feel like this was a bad idea.


    Robert's back from prison, only to find that Aaron's married to his long-lost brother - and that he's mysteriously and chronically ill.

    It's possible those two things are related.
