"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Rhea jumped in surprise when Foggy suddenly shot up in his sleep on the couch beside her, "Foggy, baby... What was it this time?"
Foggy shut his eyes tightly as though he was trying to unsee his dream, "Matt... his, uh, his body."
"Foggy..." Rhea whispered as she leaned against him, "What happened to Matt... it's not your fault. You have nothing to feel guilty about."
"Because I have this great life?" Foggy whispered, "Beautiful wife, high-paying job, expensive suits... I always wanted a good suit. I have it all, but Matt's just... gone."
Rhea inhaled deeply and nuzzled her forehead against his shoulder, "Maybe it's time you talk to someone..."
"It won't bring him back." Foggy swallowed, "And you know I can't..."
Rhea just sighed and tugged him closer to her, propping her legs up so she was partially on him, "I know... You-You could talk to Father Latum... He knows enough."
"It's okay." Foggy breathed out and pulled slightly away from her. He kissed her cheek and got up from the couch, "I'm going to head into bed. You can keep watching your show."
"I can come join you."
"No, it's alright." Foggy kissed her quickly with a small smile on his face, "I'll take a melatonin gummy. See if it helps me fall back asleep."
"Alright."
Foggy started to walk away and checked his phone. He immediately stopped at the sight of every online article basically saying the same thing, "No. No. No..."
"What's wrong?" Rhea immediately got up from the couch, "Is everything alright?"
"Fisk-" Foggy turned his phone to show her, "They let Fisk out."
"What?" Rhea gasped and took his phone from him so she could read it, "No... That-That's impossible. How could they do this?"
"Shit..." Foggy checked the time, "Do you think Zoe or Karen are still awake?"
"No, Karen has been getting Zoe to sleep better." Rhea answered him as she started to pace around the apartment, "Uh... Try Benny. I'm sure she's already heard."
"She's already-" Foggy shut his eyes, "Yeah, okay, I'll call her. I just- I doubt she'd answer me right now."
"She's not pissed at you, Foggy." Rhea mumbled as she took her own phone out so she could start reading as many articles as she could, "I'm sure she'll want to talk to someone about this anyway."

Benicia parked her car down the street and walked toward the front of the hotel. She adjusted her bag on her shoulder as she maneuvered through the crowd. Her focus was on the large crowd as the people chanted for Fisk to be locked back up. She didn't disagree with them. She pushed her glasses up to rub her eyes, "Gosh... I can't even believe this. It's fucking insane."
