Fjord’s voice is far away, unimportant as Caleb tears frantically at the bandages covering his hands, revealing what’s hiding underneath. He thinks he can hear someone crying, or maybe they’re laughing.

“Okay, okay, I won’t touch you, but you have to listen to me. Caleb, whatever you’re seeing, it’s not real, okay?”
