chris wakes up in the middle of the night, there's some noise coming from his dad's room, some mumbling. he knows well what those mean – nightmares. he peaks through the door silently to make sure it's not so bad, eddie is distressed but he's still sleeping. chris decides to walk up to the bed and hold his dad's arm. some time later the tossing and mumbling cease. chris goes to sleep again.
the next morning he's cautious around eddie but he wants to know, because that wasn't one of his army nightmares. something about that one somehow fills chris with dread too. he still decides to ask when they're having breakfast.
"dad... what does '3 minutes and 17 seconds' mean?"
eddie feels like dying on the kitchen floor again.
