Summary
Bdubs is five, and he is not getting better, and Etho has been sitting in a hospital chair for nine days.
Not because it helps. Not because the doctors asked him to. Because when Etho was fourteen and in a room that looked exactly like this one, his father dropped him off at the emergency entrance and drove away, and the chair was empty for three days except for one afternoon when a boy named Beef sat in it and held his hand and said I'm here.
Etho doesn't know if sitting in the chair is love. He doesn't know if it's enough. He knows it's the only thing he has that his own father didn't give him, and he's going to give it whether or not it matters, whether or not Bdubs ever remembers, whether or not the monitors keep saying what the monitors are saying.
