Aelise keeps Harley in her room, and allows visits - mostly Corona, sometimes Tima - but doesn't let him run around being obnoxious to anyone. Chelsa avoids him.

Zeus doesn't stop hugging him, but he's now much more confused about why he's doing it. "My Harley," he murmurs.
"I love you," he says helplessly. "But it's like - like she cut off all my feelings and now they're just growing back."

"Can you tell me how to help you?" murmurs Zeus, tucking his face in where Harley's neck and shoulder meet. "I'll do anything to help you."

[Mama would like to speak to you at your earliest convenience,] says Elspeth to Harley.
"Elsie's mom wants to talk to me about the thing," Harley murmurs, "and I wanna snuggle you, will you come?"
