"Dad?"

"Mm?"

"It's day 1000."

"Cooper... Have you been counting this whole time?"

"No. No, I just... I have something on my phone which counts days from a date."

"1000. Wow."

"...he's not going to wake up, is he?"

"We can't give up, Coop."

"It's been too long. And looking at him... I'm scared, dad."

"We're both scared. All scared. But look. He's still your brother, Cooper. He's going to wake up. I love him. He has to."

"Oh, dad..."

"He has to- Cooper...
Cooper! Cooper, look!"

"Dad..."

"Come on, Blaine, open your eyes. Move your hand again, come on..."

"Doctor!"

"My son... You're back, I can't believe... That's my boy..."

"
Doctor!"

"Come on..."

"What's happened?"

"He's waking up, doctor. My boy's waking up."

"Blaine? Blaine, can you hear me?"

"Uuuuu..."

"Gentlemen, can I ask you to leave the room while we check he's okay medically?"

"Take care of my son.
Please."

"I will, Mr Anderson."

"..... Do you think this is the last time we'll sit in these seats?"

"What about all those people who recover and then relapse, though?"

"Dad, we can't think like that! We've been waiting for this for so long, and he has- What are you doing?"

"Calling your mom. Kate?"

"Robert?"

"He's waking up."

"...what?"

"We were in there, Kate. Day 1000, Cooper said. And now he's
waking up."

"I'll be there as soon as I can! ...I love you."

"I love you too. ... Cooper? Thank you."

"What for?"

"For never giving up on him. For sticking this out with me."

"He's my brother. Like I had a choice."

"Others did."

"They were scared, dad. You can't blame them."

"Mr Anderson, Cooper. You can come in now."

"... Blaine... You're really awake..."

"Blaine, you have been asleep for a very long time. It's quite amazing that you've woken up. Can you tell me how many fingers I'm holding up, please?"

"... Two and a thumb. Where am I?"

"Oh god..."

"It is natural for you to feel disorientated. You got hit by a car nearly three years ago and have been asleep ever since."

"That's... I'm in a hospital."

"Yes. How much can you remember from the accident?"

".....I don't know."

"Okay. That's okay. See those two men standing over there?"

"I do."

"Do you recognise either of them?"

"...should I? I... I don't."

"Oh
god..."

"Okay. That's alright. It might take time. Can you tell me your name, please?"

"I... I don't... don't..... Where's Kurt?"
