Eddie cringed just a little in sympathy for Jesse. He couldn't know what it was like to be epileptic, but he couldn't imagine having a situation arise where he couldn't control his body's movements... Especially in a situation like this one where Jesse had sutures from surgery, and had damaged his stitches from a fit. That was shitty, and Eddie looked over at Jesse, shaking his head just a little. "Fuck, dude. That has to be rough. No wonder you're sore, though. Ripped sutures... Sutures hurt enough when they're not ripped."

If ever there was a time Eddie wanted to bitchslap his BFF, it was probably right now. Was he seriously that obviously perving on Ethan that Jace had noticed it right away and felt the need to put that out into the universe? His eyes immediately cut to Jace sharply, and he almost audibly shushed him, though he stopped himself just in time. Jace's answer was quick, and had Eddie wondering what that was all about -- at least until Ethan began to explain. And then Eddie's heart was just breaking. This poor guy had been through utter hell, harrassed by his boss, and there was an unfamiliar twisting in Eddie's gut that he couldn't even begin to explain. There was just something overwhelmingly awful about the idea that anyone would harm someone who seemed as kind and good as Ethan. "That's... Jeez, how awful, man. How did you... I mean, I don't want to ask a lot of questions, because I know that can't be easy for you to share at all, but... What did you do to deal with that?"
