rest is easy. He'll be fine when he'll wake up. Because his Simon is there with him, every step of the way.

It takes a week for Soap to open his eyes again. But when he does and can get them to focus and sees his Simon? He beams, pain forgotten. "You stayed!"
He doesn't see the awkward looks shared between Simon and his siblings. But when Simon tells him "Always, Johnny. Forever, if possible" going to

The sister and brother are weary of him, obviously, but if their baby brother asked for this man first thing out of a coma he'll have him. They take this Simon up to the room and let him sit by the bed, holding John's hand for their entire visiting time. And then again the next day.

this Simon should be possible. But Price says it's classified. He'll see what he can do. But no promises. He'll need to know when the sister plans to visit Soap next tho.
