" - Cam, I don't know if the competent Valar would take alt consent to fix the memories but I bet they could, if Melkor can -"

"Seems like it'd save him some nightmares - right, Kib -?"

"I think I never dream anything I remembered when I went to sleep."

"Conditioning on the hypothesis that among our resources are friendly Valar do you want your memories all put back?"

"Yes."

"Is keeping you unconscious better or worse than letting you keep doing the thing you're doing?"

"- depends on if I dream -"

"Is dreaming preferable conditioning on the hypothesis that we are friendly."

"No."

"And if we can put everything back and doing so prevents the dreams?"

"Preferable."

"And if we can keep you awake indefinitely?"

"No - please -"

"Because then you can't confirm anything -"

"Yeah."

"If you're doing - the not-thinking thing - do you want company, do you want entertainment..."

"People are nice until they start hurting me - music's nice -"

"Are there things that hurt you that we wouldn't expect to hurt you, or hurt you much worse than they'd hurt you-before-Angband -"

"I - don't remember -"

" - Cam can you think how to phrase it, this is something I would be evasive about in his position but which we do need to know -"

"...What was your state of information immediately before you said 'I think something's wrong with me'."

"The last thing I remembered I was back in Valinor with Maitimo and - then there's - weird memories of a couple weeks of hearing that there were humans in Endorë and us deciding to go meet them and - the memories were wrong, I checked my notes and they were there but didn't make any sense - and I went looking for Aydanci to have him take over teaching the humans servantmaking and before I found him I was in that other place and suddenly everything hurt and I was so tired -"

"What'd you dream about this past sleep?"

"Torture and then an Aly dream and then a hallucination that went on a couple subjective weeks and it had dreams within dreams when I imagined I slept and more torture."

"So you don't remember most of it and might have phobias you don't know about or something -?"
