"What if my hands never fully heal? What if it stays like this for the rest of my life?" Zev's voice trembled with frustration, his eyes reddened.

Gary wanted to reassure him, but looking at Zev's scarred, misshapen fissers, he couldn't bring himself to offer empty promises. The truth was that Zev's recovery was uncertain.

"Did Gary scold you?" she asked softly.

Zev shook his head and took the trash from her hands. "I'll take care of it."
