Summary
How is Buck here?
“Eddie,” he says again, and it is his voice.
It’s his intonation, it’s his timbre, it’s the same way Eddie’s heard his name come from this mouth hundreds, thousands of times. The sound of it is a salve to his injuries, and it pulls a sob from deep within his chest.
His relief is short-lived, soon swept away by heartrending clarity, because he can’t be hearing this voice. He can’t be hearing it because Buck can’t be here. Buck is somewhere in the building, a few floors away from Eddie, who’s still suspended mid-air in an echoing shaft, stuck in-between.
