    Summary

    He felt like background noise. That’s what he kept coming back to. Always there. Always steady but easy to forget.

    He was the hum of the fan in the room. The soft static people put on when they were trying to sleep. The thing you didn’t need, not really, but you got used to it. Found it comforting in a way you couldn’t quite explain.

    Edmundo Diaz: white noise.
    Comforting, reliable, forgettable.

    OR: Eddie’s always felt like background noise, but after Buck does something for him, he starts to realize maybe he’s meant for more - and maybe that “more” has been Buck all along. (set after 8x09 "Sob Stories")
