[ He's been waking up these past several days with nightmares that they were killed again, and when he opens his eyes, he sees that they're fine. It reminds him of the nightmares he had during the first five years of his life, living in disgust, fear, and paranoia that no place felt like a safe haven, not even his dreams.
Terry has been all three at some point in the hospital, but he'll take the homework, since he's very determined to help Kido to fully heal, if only physically for now. Mental and emotional health are important too--he knows that--but they need to take this one step at a time. But the thing is, he's not sure how he should go about doing this. He's only ever talks about the first thing that pops into his head.
...
He really is only good for breaking things, huh.
Terry has only lived in a selfish way throughout his life, but it's not his turn to be selfish anymore. With that resolution made up in his mind, he nods at the nurse and... that's it. There's no retort. No backtalking. No whining. He signs all the paperwork after.
He quietly breathes out. Things are different now. Despite his mental exhaustion, he goes back to where Kido is on the bed. ]
