[gansey didn't expect a response to most of it. he doesn't think adam has one yet. it's a work in progress, one that will be in progress for a long time, that in the end has to be shown more than told. gansey will just have to make sure that he's there for adam as much as he possibly can be.]

By the time I called you all, nothing really hurt anymore. What happened that you would think it hurt?

[unknowable]

Everything. You were spitting up blood

no, never mind

I'm glad you're back.

[there's a long moment before gansey answers. he's putting the pieces together: the sparking feeling in his brain, the fact that he remembers nothing, that adam says 'spitting up' instead of 'coughing up', the fact that this is a subject everyone has been avoiding.]

I had a seizure? People don't remember having them. I wasn't there anymore, but I'm sorry you had to see that.

I'm glad I'm back too.

[unknowable]

None of it was easy to see, Gansey. Not one second of it.

[mintly]

I'm sorry.

I thought about it most of the night, whether to call. It seemed crueler to not tell. For all of you. Maybe I was wrong.

[unknowable]

No. Don't be an idiot. I would rather have been there. I just don't want it to happen again. Ever.

[mintly]

Sorry. Still trying to sort out this post-resurrection business.

That makes two of us. This is technically my third life now, that seems a bit much. You don't get to die either. Or the other two.

[unknowable]

I'd rather we all stay alive from now on. If we're careful it shouldn't be impossible.

[mintly]

Especially now we have a better idea exactly how careful we need to be.

Maybe you and I should find someone to teach us more advanced first aid. You know more than me, but two of us prepared would be better than one.

[unknowable]

I've been thinking of that as well. I'll ask around and see what I can find.

[mintly]

Great minds and all that. There has to be someone willing to teach, especially since we can't seem to go a week without a life-threatening incident.

[unknowable]

Be careful until then. And after. All the time, really.

[mintly]

Trust me, if nothing else I have been inspired to be *extremely* careful.

You too. We all need to be careful.

Talk to you soon, Adam. Don't be a text-stranger.

[unknowable]

I'll try. For both.
