   Summary

   Ed is forced to confront his feelings for Oswald after the events of the battle of Gotham and during his recovery in Lee's clinic. He's ready to listen to his heart, but after everything Oswald seems to have taken his advice about love being a weakness seriously. The tables have turned and Ed is forced to pine for his best friend alone while he deals with the consequences of his actions. Is he too late?
