    Summary

    The first time a building tried to take Eddie from him, Buck carried him out.

    The second time, Buck becomes the only thing standing between Eddie and several hundred pounds of concrete.

    Trapped beneath the wreckage, with Buck bleeding, shaking, and slowly losing the strength to keep the ceiling from crushing him, neither of them has anywhere left to hide from the truth.

    “Buck, please!”

    “Stop asking me to choose to live without you!”

    or

    Buck holds up a slab of concrete to keep Eddie alive, and several years of unresolved feelings finally collapse with the ceiling.

    Summary

    "I don't wanna die, Eddie. I need you to believe me. I don't. I just don't really feel alive, either."

    Dr. Copeland gives Buck homework: say the thing he's been carrying since Bobby died out loud, to someone whose face he has to watch while he does. There are hotlines. There's a peer-led option through the union. Buck picks the only option that counts.

    Or:

    The whole truth about New Mexico, a box of feelings Eddie was saving just for Frank, and one more direction for Bobby to point Buck in.

    Summary

    Eddie has a bruised leg, Buck has no respect for Eddie's self-sacrificial nonsense, and the building has maybe thirty seconds left before it becomes everybody's problem.

    "You can move faster without me, Go. Bring someone back. I can wait!"

    Buck stares at him through the smoke-dark visor.
    "Not happening."

    or

    Eddie discovers Buck can apparently carry him in full turnout gear like he weighs nothing, and is absolutely not normal about that.

    Summary

    Someone exclaims in the background, but Buck’s voice cuts through louder when he asks, “You… you want to borrow my…?”

    “Flashlight,” Eddie supplies with patient emphasis. It is not, strictly speaking, a leap of faith to assume Buck of all people would have one, but he did move recently, so— who knows what’s still lost in Packed Box Limbo. “Please tell me you have one I can use.”

    “I…” there’s a lengthy pause on the other end, Buck’s voice weak and tapering off at the end. “Y-Yeah, okay.”

    Or: Eddie just needs to borrow some tools. Fleshlight, flashlight, what’s the difference? The distinction has never been more illuminating.
