"I'm gonna fix this!"
Those are the last words he hears after everything goes to hell, and he wishes he could believe them. It's easier to just stop thinking, to withdraw into himself. He feels broken in a way he hasn't in years, maybe ever.
The days blur together after a while. Hospital, med changes... it's not the worst place he's ever been, in all fairness, but even the few doctors who seem to care don't really know what to do with him, and the reality of being separated from his team is enough to make it almost unbearable.
He's transferred three months in, to Germany of all places, and although no one will tell him why it's enough to make him remember that last desperate promise. He starts palming some of his meds, the ones he knows he doesn't need because he's been on them before.
It's been six months, almost to the day, since he last saw the others when a package arrives in the mail.
