Calidi had only closed his eyes for a moment when he heard a cough nearby. It wasn’t a cough from him - he’d certainly feel it throughout his abdomen - so it had to have been from Clay. His eyes flew open again as he looked at the other with concern. Phrase after phrase cycled in his thoughts, unable to be said. ''Are you alright? Why are you holding your chest? Does it hurt? Was it because of yesterday? Please rest. What’s wrong?''

In the end, he just squeezed Clay’s hand again. There was nothing else he could do.
