Title: the strength it takes to rise up again
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Warnings: blood and injury, physical disability, mental health issues, not physical therapy approved means of treatment
A crutch lays abandoned on the floor next to Thomas’s cot.
The walker is untouched near the nightstand. Guardrails line the entire med-hut, Gally presses down on them to make sure they don’t break against his weight, but they have yet to be needed. The wheelchair has never been sat in, Gally doesn’t even know if he made it correctly, but he tried.
None of it matters. None of it will ever matter if Thomas doesn’t even try to get up.
