Eddie shows up, in his usual suit, and absolutely no sign of recovering from any injuries, because hiding is good for avoiding that problem. He feels he has just as much right to celebrate his continued survival as people who put their necks on the line. He is, after all, still alive.

He buys a ticket for the raffle, acquires himself a beer to carry around, and proceeds to mingle and chatter with folks. It's an excellent evening already.
