PJ cleaned Phil's burns with some soft soap and water, before applying the antiseptic he brought, then he wrapped his hand and his lower arm up in bandage.
Phil had taken to biting down on his other arm to prevent himself from yelping out.
Dan and Chris sat in silence in the lounge. Dan would wince every time he'd hear Phil cry out.
Chris bit his lip.
"How long will it take to ease off, dy'know?" Chris asked Dan after a while.
"About two to three weeks. It'll get irritable and itchy after a while." Dan sounded distracted.
PJ walked in. "I cleaned everything up. I left the antiseptic and the leftover bandages on the kitchen counter. Redress them every day." He sat down next to Dan.
"Dan?" Dan was staring blankly ahead of him.
"I heard. Where is he, is he OK?"
"He's got some pain, but his resting now. He, uh, should be fine." PJ sunk down into the sofa.
The three friends sat looking at the TV in complete silence.
Dan couldn't help feeling guilty about everything. After all, it had happened after he'd left, right? If he never had left, nothing would've happened to Phil. Phil would still be AmazingPhil. But it's too late now.
Dan Howell was watching his best friend - his brother - slip away from him, and he had no idea how to help.
