Summary
By the time Eliot is back in his body and is released from the infirmary, Quentin is still asleep.
No, not asleep. Quentin is still in a coma. And Eliot put him there. The horrifying part, the part that pierces into him like barbed wire around his heart, his lungs, his abused liver... the part that makes him feel like he's made of electrical fencing, is that he remembers all of it.
He remembers every mark the Monster made on Quentin: every cut, every puncture, every punch, every burn. He remembers the feel of Quentin's bones breaking under the grip of his hands. He remembers the taste of Quentin's blood, as the Monster dragged Eliot's tongue over the open wounds he had imprinted into Quentin's skin with a shard of glass. He remembers the sounds Quentin made, broken moans and agonized cries. He remembers the choking and retching when Quentin started coughing up blood, and he remembers Quentin begging, begging for Eliot to wake up, to please wake up so the Monster couldn't hurt him anymore.
____
The Monster took Quentin hostage and tortured him for a month. The boys both have a lot of healing to do.
