Summary
Ivan swallows it down. The plate in hand, he returns to their room. Andrew’s hunched over the desk, rubbing at his temple. He perks up when he hears Ivan’s footsteps, turns in his chair, and greets him with a smile.
“We’re out of…” Ivan scrambles to remember. His throat feels scratchy.
“Orange juice? Yeah, I saw.”
Ivan puts the plate next to Andrew’s keyboard. “If the egg isn’t right, I’ll have it. I couldn’t remember if you liked it with or without pepper.”
Andrew looks it over. He starts to laugh.----------------
It's nothing that serious at first- a few minor mistakes he makes when it comes to some relatively simple tasks. Everyone makes mistakes, and even in the face of his own paranoia, Andrew comes in and provides respite through a smile and kind words. Days blur, and soon enough, Ivan is eventually confronted with a deadly combination of both feeling and illness, leaving him painfully vulnerable to his friend.
