He's my best friend. I should have tried harder to talk him out of it. I should have at least gone with him.

Next to the bed, the small machine beeps rapidly as the sheets move and the young man starts to sit up. 
  
GRACE

RAEDALE

Raedale runs toward the bed. Slater groans.

Slater
Uh...wha...where...?

Frantically, Grace heads for the door.

GRACE
Okay, I'm going to find Doctor Imani.

The nurse screams the doctor’s name as she exits. Slater slowly rips the metal leads off his head.

RAEDALE
Hey, bro. Take it easy. You're gonna be fine.

SLATER
Raedale? Where...am I?

RAEDALE
At the hospital. You've been out three days. Thank God, you're awake!
