    Summary

    “Well—I don’t fuckin’ know Sug,” Richie bites out, “I’m not a doctor, and neither are you, or Syd, or this fucko.” He points at Luca, who reels back a little and blinks owlishly.

    “And that fucko,” Richie continues, gesturing at Carmy, “is not exactly what I would call helpful either! He’s just sitting there with—with that fuckin’ face on his face instead of tellin’ us what’s wrong with him!”

    Sydney feels a headache starting to build between her eyes. She pinches at the spot. This whole situation feels like a scene straight out of a sitcom. Or a dramedy, depending on how the rest of the episode unfolds.

    “Dude,” she says to Richie, “did you seriously just quote Hereditary right now?”

    In which Carmy gets a concussion, and somehow, Sydney and Richie end up having a very good talk because of it.

    Summary

    "Again, their breath moves together, only instead of a sigh of relief it holds still, caught in their throats. They seem to both acknowledge a door half-open, a window just cracked. Sometimes it’s like this—working on the Bear, talking about Mikey when they have to, when they mention the money or the inspiration or the afternoons Carmen has to plan around in order to attend the AL meetings.

    They are always on the edge of talking about it. Sometimes Carm feels it like a lighter, finger pressed down flat, letting all the gas out, never making a spark. It never catches, it never burns, but it’s there, fucking up the ozone layer or some shit like that. He’s always fucking up something."

    OR: After months of hard work, The Bear is nearing opening, with a inaugural write-up in the Tribune to go with it. The only problem is: Carmy can't talk about the restaurant without talking about Mikey, and he can't talk about Mikey without talking about himself.

    Summary

    Something in Denki's brain is different, ever since his latest turn as a human lightning rod. After all, there are only so many times he can fry his brain through and have it remain intact.

    If only he wasn't constantly on Aizawa's last nerve.
