I tried that.

Ughhh....

[shoves facce into brother's shoulder]

[ tips his head to the side, against Ingo's. ]

There are two of us now. We can do anything together.

We can.

...

Emmet, when we go home tonight. Can I. Stay in your room?

Of course. Or we can stay in yours.

[ since his is.

it's not great. ]

Thanks. I.

I'd like to not be alone.

It will be like when we were kids again!

I'd like that a lot.

A sleepover until I'm ready to have space again.

It would make me feel better, too.

Good.

I.

[holds closer]

Its been so long since anyone wanted to. Hold me.

[ just tugs him in close. ]

That time is over now.

It was so lonely.

I will not let you be alone any more.

[stupid tears

gawd hes been getting to touch a person again so much after 3 years of very little contact]

[ Emmet pulls back just a bit so he can wipe at Ingo's eyes with his sleeve. ]

You will take care of me, and I will take care of you.

We'll take care of each other.

[nods]

And then when I'm ready we will return to the subway.

Yes. But for now, let us focus on getting you home.

[speaking off

here comes a nurse, a chipper young man, ready with a wheelchair to take Ingo for more testing and examinations]

Oh, right....its time.

[ Emmet gets up, moving out of the way, taking little sneasel bb with him gently. ]

I will wait for you here!

[ and prepare to take him home, hopefully. ]

[nods at that, a bit anxious about it but not arguing]

Alright. Try to get some rest, Emmet. See you soon.

[and out the room he goes to get poked and prodded and put in the big metal tube]

[ Emmet makes a few calls and texts — mostly placing a grocery order for later and getting private security going, as well as reaching out to his lawyer to get paperwork stuff happening.

So no. He does not rest while Ingo is getting poked and prodded. ]

[its several hours before Ingo is wheeled back to the room. But!! He's out his hospital gown, in the clothes he had arrived in since he didn't have anything else to wear. He looks very tired and a bit stressed, but also excited because...]

Emmet, I've been cleared for release!

That's wonderful! Everything was in order?

[ He stands up, walking over. He'd gather his things except all he really has is his coat, since he came straight from Gear Station and hasn't left since. ]

There were signs of previous injury but nothing too concerning for the present. They've also done me the courtesy of obtaining medication for my pain while my injuries are healing as well as providing me anxiety medication while things are prone to being. Overstimulating.

[which is to say the doctors noticed Ingo becoming Very Overwhelmed at times

I should be good for the month with what I have and we've scheduled a followup in a few weeks.

I do need you to sign papers for me however as I'm still legally not a person.

Ah, yes.

[ He steps over, giving the nurse a smile. ]

Thank you for taking care of my brother. I am ready to sign whatever is needed.
