NATE
Who could ask to be unbroken
or be brave again?
or be brave again?
Or honey hope even on this side
of the grave again?
of the grave again?
”Wrapping it is all fine and good, but you need more than that.” This was an easier place to settle in, the brusque words coming naturally. Nate thought about what he’d need, then pared down his list to the most simple things, hot water, a hot blade, and clean bandages. He didn’t know where they’d come from, but there had to be some kind of medical supplies here.
Just as he was about to stand, leave Sam on the bed, alone (why didn’t that feel like a good idea?), the ginger man started wailing, and Nate felt his chest throb all over again. A strong hand rubbed over Sams back, pulled him in closer against Nate’s chest. ”I... don’t know either. But you... we’ll figure it out, okay? We’ll talk to... the voice, or something, or worst come to worst I’ll teach you to do things with your left hand. Okay?”
Nate was getting a little frantic now, trying everything he could think of to reassure the man sobbing in his arms. ”I’ll help you. I’m going to... I’m going to be right here.” He knew, as he said them, that the words were true. He would be by Sam’s side, despite the things he didn’t understand, the troubles it brought. ”Just take a breath. Try to calm down.”

And who could ask it to be sound
or to feel saved again?
or to feel saved again?
But stick around until you hear
that music play again
that music play again
