Water, Water Everywhere
Date: March 1st ; ETA: March 2nd
Characters: Walter Weekes, Sadie Moore ; ETA: Walter Weekes and Benjiro Thorne
It hasn't even been a full week, and though Walter's learned much he is still struggling without sight apart from the not-quite-darkness of webspace.
More mundanely, the house is still barely livable after the disastrous flooding; Ben's assistance, among other things, has been vital towards getting the place drained and dry.
Other visits - like Sadie's - are much appreciated, and Walter is well aware of what chaos Echoes have been wreaking in her life lately.
His mind keeps coming back to that water, though, and he can never quite settle, never quite relax-
The next day comes the first chance to test a possible workaround - finally, finally, by Walter's account, though he still feels guilty for having the notion.
After all, he's not in charge of the passage of time.

It's not easy to tell if he's breathing (making the other kids quiet down as they try to discern such for themselves), but subsequent application of CPR brings the boy back to wakefulness.
The rest of the kids - including those previously rescued - huddle close and hold hands. Their voices raise in wordless harmony, an echo of the melody still ringing from upstream...
As the memory Echo ends, the girl in the center of it all still does not sing.
