He comes around on the second day in the hospital, but doesn’t manage to hold onto consciousness until the day after that. The room isn’t bad. No roommate, and a big window that looks down over the town. His arm is sore from the IV, but that’s not so bad either. The sun looks like it’s barely just risen, and Otter is curled up and sleeping in a chair in the corner - he’s wearing his scrubs, so he must have just finished a shift. Austin wonders how long it’s been since Otter went back to the apartment, how long it’s been since he changed out of those scrubs. Maybe it’s better not to know.
