Oh oh oh I love this! Also it sent me back to reread 'chose wrong' which was an excellent thing to do.
Erich deciding if it doesn't hurt it must be a hallucination! His horribly accurate description of being in hospital, spoken about and never to OMG, his passive silence and his idea that he might be in hell - and then Biggles, who does talk to him, and who holds his hand just enough to hurt because of course he perceives Erich in a way that nobody else does. This is absolutely the gorgeous painful comfort I needed at the end of 'chose wrong' <333
