    Summary

    Russians do not blush. Russians do not get sick. Ilya gets concussions. He gets stitches. He skates on cracked ribs and calls it fine. He does not get sick. Which is why, when he wakes up at three in the morning in the middle of June, shaking so hard his teeth knock together, his first instinct is irritation.

    Summary

    Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”

    Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”

    “You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”

    The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.

    In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.

    There’s a lot to get used to.

    Summary

    Shane will be the one to get dementia, in the end, once the disease progresses. He’ll be the one who forgets, in the final stages. It’s unfair, so fucking unfair, but Ilya can’t cry about it in front of their daughters or in front of Shane’s parents. So he gets up from the table and slams the patio door, pats himself down for a cigarette he knows won’t be there until his fingers find his mother’s cross laying heavy against his collarbone.

    Or, Ilya and Shane, and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). A series of vignettes.
