I'm sorry, but I have to ask...what happened to Tristan?

Oops, I guess I did leave you hanging with that part. He recovered but he isn’t able to walk on his own and has difficulty speaking still. As far as I know, he has all his cognitive abilities. We will text each other from time to time. He does a fundraiser race thing with a modified bike each year down in Berkeley and I always donate to the cause, as well.

Well done; loved the chain smoker/Chainsmokers line and the coda.

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that, although hopefully you had a similar happy ending.
