His habits have changed dramatically over the weeks of sitting small and quiet at a hospital bedside.
Your brother. Zack's voice breaks through his thoughts. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"He's awake," Micchi says again. It feels like the only thing worth saying. But there's more. "He smiled at me. He doesn't remember anything. He can't or he would have been scared of me, or angry. Anything but happy."
