After a lot of back and forth, Marcus finally decided to go in He knew his friend wasn’t an easy man, but above all, he understood that if anyone could keep things under control, it was him. So, setting aside any negative thoughts, everyone agreed that Marcus should be the one to talk to Peter.

Minutes later, Marcus stepped into room. He felt nervous, though he couldn’t quite understand why. The

man lying in that bed had been his best friend, and the age Peter remembered himself as had been one of their best years together.

“I can smell your fear from here,” Peter said, staring at his reflection in the window.

“Peter! How are you?” Marcus replied, his nerves showing

It was obvious–Peter’s gaze wasn’t the same as it had been before his operation.

“Get that scared look off your face! You’re making me think whatever happened to me is really bad.”

“It’s not that…! It’s just… there’s a lot we need to talk about” Marcus said, unsure where to start.

“Then start, because no matter how hard I try, I can’t make sense of anything,” Peter replied, frustration clear in his voice. “Imagine waking up and seeing a woman you don’t recognize, surrounded by people you’ve never seen before.”

“How far back do you remember?” Marcus asked carefully.

“So it is bad, huh?” Peter said, his eyes turning cold.

“All the doctors keep asking me the same thing over and over. Can you cut the act and just be honest with me? Tell me–what the hell is happening to me?” Peter snapped, exasperated.

Marcus took a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh. His mouth opened, then closed again–he had no idea how to begin. How was he supposed to sum up 23 years of Peter’s life? He didn’t know the details of those missing decades, but he did know some things. He’d tell Peter what he could, and leave the rest to Celeste and Maximus.
