Rich is in one of the private rooms instead of one of the beds on the main Medbay floor. Dr. Gym'll and Dr. Ry'kerr had thought it best for him to have some peace and quiet.
He doesn't see Robbie at first, but it's not because his attention is occupied by anything else. He's just staring straight ahead, at the bare wall.
There's a tension in his jaw that shouldn't be there, when all he's staring at is nothing. It suggests that he's simply...somewhere else.
He's not alone. A nurse has been put on one-to-one with him, to make sure he's okay whenever his friends aren't in the room. The nurse smiles when Robbie comes in.
"If you want some time alone, I can leave," he offers. "But you need to let me know when you're leaving so I can come back in."
Rich himself says nothing. It'll take a little more effort to get his attention.
