Near Lurker:
I expect they're going to lock her up after this, and this nurse knows that.
(I'm roughly 99.99% certain it was Faye who punched Marten. I mean, what, was one of the nurses going to punch him?)
(Heh... it just hit me that I've actually been locked up in the hospital they'd most likely be in. And after a relative finished burning out his liver this week. Brr.)

Fayemom is scared of the Godless North and the frozen wastes where Faye lives, so I guess she is too afraid to come. However, I guess Marten will call her and promise to take good care of Faye.
I have mixed feelings for anyone else showing up at the hospital. I would prefer that Marten is alone with Faye when she finally wakes up, so they can have a Moment and a Talk together. But it is possible that Hanners will be there too. Dora should stay away.
Near Lurker:
So... anyone know what sacrifices Juno is partial to?

--- End quote ---
She has no INCOME, that doesn't mean she has no savings. If she's been smart, she should have 2-3 months rent socked away. She should be able to find a job in that time. If she's smart she will go to that gallery and see if she can get any commissions.

Man these US american problems are so weird to us europeans.
Do you really not have any form of general unemployment insurance over there in the USA ?!?

Limited unemployment insurance, determined by how much you paid in while working for your employer. Part-time employees, however, can't draw unemployment, or at least they can't in MI. It's also only a fraction of what a normal paycheck would be.
A lot of people are also terrible at saving money. I am one such person.
BenRG:
I can understand the doctor's confusion. Marten and Faye do have a remarkably close bond. Dora noticed it and was never really able to understand or tolerate it. It will be interesting to see how Claire, with her own abandonment issues, responds to it. FWIW, the closest parallel that I can think of is a sibling bond. They love each other but it isn't romantic in any way anymore.
Yes, Marten is close to the truth: Just because Faye will recover doesn't mean that she is going to be okay. That journey will be longer, harder and full of difficult truths for everyone. Faye in particular is going to need the help of all her friends if she is to face the world without a crutch.

Yes, but it is subsistence-level only and only lasts for a few months at best. After that, you are considered willfully destitute and treated accordingly.
