In walks somebody who looks like a slightly younger, substantially less appendaged Cam, stark naked, recently systematically brutalized but not to the point of the loss of the use of his limbs, who seems unbothered by these facts as he walks in with unfocused eyes and looks at things in places that don't have things in them - ignores the exploding stars, doesn't see the people, calls "Aydanci? Honey? I need the day off, can you -" -

- the door shuts and his knees buckle with sudden pain, he blinks and sees the bar and Midnight and Findekáno, seems to recognize them -

"I think something is wrong with me," he says in a small voice, and he collapses unconscious.

He will scoop him up and carry him to the infirmary - ask the bar he tells Findekáno - and then the Bells - another one of you just wandered in and collapsed, taking him to the infirmary -

"Is that another instance of Cam and Miranda and Mirelótë -"

Yes.

The mage in the infirmary heals the Bell and reminds Maitimo of the nudity policy.

"He walked in like that, if Cam doesn't come down in a couple minutes I can try to find him something but the bar did give him a door -"

"Yeah, I get it, and it'd about kill my friend to have to stick him in a cell but it's not worth our jobs, you've got layers on, maybe loan him something if you want to go back out before his twin shows up."

"Okay. We'll stay here until he wakes up - were there injuries that weren't visible, I don't know, can you do diagnostics -"

"Nothing precise but yeah, he was real fucked up. Not sick, though, just hurt."

Cam?

I'm coming, where are you?

Infirmary. 

Cam's there a moment later. Puts the other Bell in jeans and a T-shirt. "What, uh, happened -?"

He sends the memory.

"I don't know what to make of that. Maybe he'll be more comprehensible when he wakes up."

"Recognized Findekáno and I. Very carefully and very badly injured."

"Well. Thanks, Tse Lux. Midnight, can you put him on the sofa? I'll read up on wherever he's from, I guess."

He picks him up. 

"It looked like he recognized you in a positive way? Whereas I'll be bewildering and the girls'd be strangers - do you want to hang out and be there when he wakes up -"

"Of course. And yes, I think he knows a me -" Couch. He waves Findekáno over. "He doesn't have a belly button. I don't know if the first Arda humans had belly buttons."

"Yeah that's weird."

- the new Bell starts muttering in his sleep.

And then screaming, not even words, just bloodcurdling agonized cries until he runs out of air.

"- Jesus, what the - wake him up -"

He's already shaking him -

New Bell's eyes open briefly but he can't hold them that way, he's awake long enough to take a breath and drops off again. The screaming doesn't resume immediately.

He exhales, looks back up at Cam - "we can help you read about his world, maybe the healing messed something up somehow -"
