"Dreams that fit right."

"What is the deal with your dreams?"

"I'm reincarnated and get my past life back that way and any memories you delete."

"...If you could be sure that what you are currently experiencing was not a hallucination, would you want to kill yourself?"

"No."

"Would you want to become an immortal indestructible but potentially mentally vulnerable magical creature."

"Probably not."

"If you could be sure this was not a hallucination what would you want us to do - in terms of company, in terms of enlisting the help of the competent Valar, in terms of magic we have or might turn up -"

"...Something intelligent given whatever constraints you have."

"Try to roll you back to before Angband, yes or no. Keep you in a coma until we can kill your Melkor and access your - Aydanci? is it? - yes or no. I have a magic mind-control spell that I probably couldn't manage to cast on a younger traumatized Cam no matter what but would you want it demonstrated yes or no -"

- Akibel mumbles confusedly.

"I don't think he can produce answers he believes reliably true on this little information - who's Aydanci, is he or she authorized to make decisions on your behalf -"

"My husband. Yes."

"How'd you two end up in an Arda?"

"A magic snake ate me and then the Valar made a portal and I went and got him."

"Where would we be getting your husband from?"

"Wherever they fell back to after I was captured."

"How long had the war been going on when you were captured?"

"23 years."

"Melkor must know that, we can save it. Are there memory charm reversals that might apply?"

"Complicated as hell and we'd have to go to St. Mungos but conceivably, yes."

"Akibel -"

"Kib."

"Kib! Conditioning on the hypothesis that I'm an alternate universe version of you, that those are a thing, that this is an alternate universe Maitimo, that there are lots of worlds with all kinds of resources available, and that we can access all published written works from your home world and your Arda, what do you think we ought to know."

"- he got my Maitimo first. But Findekáno got him out again. I might reincarnate again if I died. My past life was named Alymbel Mahri and invented storks anonymously. Waking me up when I have nightmares doesn't help in the long run. I'm still missing a lot of memories. Doing the thing I'm doing is really really boring and I hate it."
