Summary
Spider never names the bear—at least not out loud. Sully calls it Tommy-Bear sometimes, which Spider refuses to touch or even think about. Quaritch seems to feel the same way; the closest he comes to acknowledging it is a brush of his hand over Sully's hair or down his kuru when he says it. He doesn't have a name for the bear, just calls it your bear or your teddy.
It stays in their quarters. The day after Quaritch gave it to him, Spider tosses it on the floor and kicks it under the bed while Sully and Quaritch are in the shower. He hopes they'll forget about it and he'll never have to look at it again. But when the three of them return to their quarters in the evening, the bear is tucked under the covers, its floppy body leaning back against the pillows. "Look," Sully says, squeezing Spider's hand. "He was waiting for you."

Spider gets a teddy bear. It changes nothing. It changes everything.
