Patrick simply felt uncomfortable in many ways—he wanted a fight, but he had no proper excuse for one.
However, while he was bristling from head to toe, he suddenly heard faint but regular snoring.
He turned and was left even more infuriated to find Sean sound asleep.
How heartless Sean was, falling asleep just like that?!
He had a million different ways to start a fight in his mind, only for that buster to fall asleep…
He had to take deep breaths, using every fiber of restraint he had to stop himself from jumping out of bed and kicking Sean squarely in the face!

In John's ICU, Cordy was sitting beside his bed.
His whole body—especially his face—was covered in bandages, and there was no way to recognize him.
However, that familiar presence of his was still there, and Cordy could not describe how she felt—but it mostly hurt.
That was why she had to restrain herself for a long while before she could finally speak.
"John," she called out to him.
Then, silence ensued—she suddenly had no idea what she could tell him now.
He was once the one dearest to her, but he was now a stranger.
Nonetheless, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what else I could say, so here goes nothing."
He remained still, though she did not actually expect a response.
