Summary
Buck tries to commit the frame to memory, wills himself not to forget the important details—Eddie on his knees in front of him, his nails seeking purchase along Buck's thighs as he drinks him down, his drawn-out gasps when Buck returns the favor.
After, when Buck reaches out for quiet confirmation in the dark, asks him, "Good?"
Eddie tells him, earnest and hard-won, "Everything is good with you," and Buck can bask in the illusion of a world where he almost believes it.
Buck is trying to leave the past where it belongs. Then he wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy, convinces Eddie to join him, and falls headfirst into (not so) casual sex with his best friend.

Summary
Running to the frontlines from a childhood he never had. Taking a bat to the wall with his son in the next room. Having an affair with the spitting image of his dead wife.
Eddie knows he’s never been good at grieving, knows he’s never been good at losing what little he allows for himself in the first place. This is why he also knows his coping mechanisms can’t possibly get any worse.
Buck, as he so often does, makes him reevaluate his assumptions.

Summary
Bobby Nash is dead.
He’s not crouched over in prayer anymore. He’s not at the lab.
He doesn’t know where he is. There’s no one here to tell him.
His surroundings are white - not sterile, hospital white, but a few shades lighter. Off-white. Cream. A comfortable white. It’s empty here. No physical environment. No room.
This isn’t Heaven. This isn’t Hell. This isn’t Purgatory.
He knows this for certain.
Bobby’s not physically in a body.
He’s just… here… existing. Not dead or alive. Somewhere in between.
*
Or - Bobby dies without closure. He needs to visit Buck’s past, present, and future in order to get it. Witness Bobby’s relationship with Buck, and Buck’s relationship with Eddie, through Bobby’s eyes.
