Ed woke up faster than usual due to actually getting enough sleep for once. The announcement about visits made him nervous though. He didn't think he was up to dealing with a fake version of his mother and sincerely hoped he and Al would be spared that.

When the nurse arrived to shoo him out of his room, he opted for the Sun Room. Being shoved into a chapel? No thanks.

When he saw Al, he perked up and immediately headed over to him to flop down on the couch. "Hey. I slept better for the first time in what feels like ages."
