Summary
The voice had always been around, Eddie remembers it, like a stream of consciousness that babbled incoherently to the point where Eddie just tuned it out.
But then the voice started speaking directly to him. Conversing like he was a whole person standing right in front of him. Like he could see what was happening around Eddie.
Eddie shook his head. No one was talking to him, and Eddie most certainly was not talking back.
He wouldn’t talk to the boy in his head ever again. There was no boy in his head.

Summary
Finally, when he feels like he hasn’t swallowed a mouthful of sand, Buck asks, “What happened?”
“I’m gonna kick your ass is what happened,” Maddie says, slamming the cup on the tray beside his bed. There’s only so much noise styrofoam can make but Buck knows Maddie put her best effort into making a point with the gesture. He winces. “How long have you gone without scening?”
And isn’t that a loaded question that Buck doesn’t even know how to start responding to.
Buck is having a hard time taking care of himself; Eddie won't let that happen.
