Within a few weeks, Theodore was given the okay to go home; To continue resting until rehabilitation.
Theodore was helped by Ike, adjusting his crutches,"All good mate.", "I can't wait for regular. . . Food.", the gears turned slowly, his words slightly slurring.
"That's completely normal."
The doctors reassured them Theodore would be fine, just needed plenty of rest and rehabilitation would begin.

On the way back, Robert turned to the kids,"I just wanted to you kids know. . . There's going to be. . . Uh, guests coming from time to time; Not Aunt Rosanna, but uh they're sometimes going to be asking questions.", "About Franklin?", Robert nods, Adelle turned to Theodore,"You just answer them honestly like last time, and if they try and push you; You let us know.", Theodore nods, Ike looked at Robert,"Is there anything we can do to help?", "You just. . . Be kids.", for some reason  that sentence weighed. . . A lot.
A simple request for them to just be kids.

Lisa crept ip into the attic, finding Franklin asleep. . . He looked older; Pale, but some colour in his cheeks, the rise and fall of his chest told her he was alive.
The purple scars, once so noticeable had dulled into something like bruises or scars.
"Just wake up. . . Wake up and dad, mom; They'll be back to normal."
Lisa and her dad would be having a talk later tonight.

Arriving back in Raven Brooks, Gerda was nervous and sad, looking at the town that didn't change much, and her stomach turning at the blue house she once loved.
Her dad, Luke, parked the car and they saw Leslie, Valeria and Leonard.
Suddenly Gerda's stomach turned for the worst.
