[Not long after this post from the Malnosso's new therapist, there is a huge racket going on at the Welcome Center. His rage at the thought of being taken to therapy and his instability in Luceti has gone over the edge and Walter is screaming and throwing chairs and bed mattresses, lamps and anything else he can get his hands on. The tirade is caught on video as he throws his journal across the room, smashing it into the wall and jolting it on. It shows him upside down.]

I will not go! They can't make me!

Peter! Peter!! [He picks up a glass and smashes it against the far wall.]

Disgusting, dirty, everything is contaminated with their evil! They're watching our every move! Everything we do! Our entire lives - our privacy, our names!

Damn vipers among our ranks and we can't even ferret them out?!

I won't go! I will NOT be taken again!! Peter! You can't let them take me again!

[He grabs a lamp and smashes it against the floor repeatedly.]

I'll find how you watch us and I'll destroy it! I'll find it and destroy it!!!

...

[He stares at his hands, the antiseptic stinging, but barely registering. His mind strays and he speaks to someone who isn't there.]

Peter, I want to go home. I don't have my lab and there is no case here. It isn't Boston - it smells funny. The air here - it's too...different.

[Walter looks up at Haruhi.]

I'm sorry, my dear. I don't have my medication. But you're very good at this. Are you a nurse?

No... not technically. I've taken a class of battlefield triage, and did some self-study for more mundane things. [With that wiped, she'll do some bandaging now. Bandage, bandage...]

... Have you checked the Dome for your medication?

It's very handy.

[He looks at her handiwork and watches calmly before chuckling a little.]

Oh, I highly doubt that. I mix my medications myself.

Then you might find the supplies for it, there?

That... Well, perhaps. Would you happen to know where I could procure cannabis or even lysergic acid?

[ ... Wait what. She blinks and-] No, not really. You could try that Dome's hospital or the flower shop. Or just... look in the forest, I guess.

[ Cannabis?]

Stealing from the doctors? Excellent idea, Harlem! [Even if it isn't stealing, really. But he likes that. He'll do that.]

Forests are harder. There are bears.

Haruhi. [The bandages are on, and she taps the hand perhaps a little maliciously but mostly as a "test" of how tight they are then before standing, dusting herself off. It's a bit of a warning on the name thing]

It's close to winter though, the bears are probably going to sleep now.

[He pulls his hand back suddenly, the tap stinging and causing him some confusion. Why was she repeating her name? It's what he just said.]

Winter...? But it wasn't anywhere close to--

Time distortions - of course. That would explain it. Crossing the universe, this one must be out of sync with mine and thus time distortions... [He rubs his bandaged hand absently.] You wouldn't know where I could find tuning forks, would you, dear?

I'm afraid we are - right here in Luceti we're in October, and we've snowed at early as November here before. [Assuming he knows both of those months, he might now. As for the tuning forks though...] But! Yeah, I'm sure we could get some at the main item shop. If we don't I might have one at my house.

Oh...well, at least I didn't miss Thanksgiving. I do love turkey. Scientifically proven to be a sleep aide.

[He rubs the bandages again, worrying at them without meaning to.]

If I can find the frequency of this universe, it might help me form a theory on this place. ...Something. I just-- Ours was...

What if-- [He starts and stops, then looks down at his hand and the bandage.] But there isn't a way home is there.

No, there is. It's just that no one's figured out how to do it themselves yet.

[She wants to make it clear that people know that. There is hope. Sort of... Mostly ]

Then that will be my first order of business once I regain my lab. Find the resonances between this world and our own - each person should still carry residual tones of their individual worlds... I just need to calculate for it. And find a way that doesn't unravel both universes.

[Hope is achieved! And obsession, but that's par for the course.]

Just be careful with it - someone actually attempted to make a portal between dimensions a while back and it not only didn't work, it resulted in some bad consequences for them. [...That sounds like she's discouraging him though, so she bites her tongue and] Not that you shouldn't keep at it, just don't attempt anything without being sure you think you have it.

Who? I need to speak with this person - their efforts and notes would be of utmost use to me. [His plead is urgent and it comes through in his voice.]

What were their names? Are they here? I need to speak with them now.

One of them went home, I'm pretty sure. [But the other one is here and] Uh... one of them involved was Tony Stark though. He lives- [ A pause, and then she realizes she doesn't know] Somewhere in town. We can probably ask where at the Welcome Center.

[Tony Stark? That sounds like a comic book character.]

Wonderful. I live at the Center, so I can look up his address. He wouldn't be adverse to me popping by, do you think?

I don't know him, but even if he was, the guy had a very public project that blew up in his face. He has to expect some callers here and there.

Excellent, then I shall call upon him once I have my lab again.

...You wouldn't happen to be able to help with that, too, would you? I need my lab - a lab. A place to stay and work permanently.

You'll... have to set that up yourself. [She frowns a little, and thinks a moment. Yeah, no, it's not like there's ready-made labs] You could probably just set one up in a house or apartment here, but if you need supplies, I do have a scientist in my organization and you can probably borrow some equipment from him to get you started. We could even go and meet him, if you want.

The n-name of your scientist? Might I have it?

Leon. [ a beat and then she realizes she should probably do the full name. She puts her hand on her hip and] Leon D.S. Geeste, that is.

[He gives Haruhi a smile and nods. Leon D.S. Geeste. He won't remember the name unless he writes it down, but he'll try to. Somehow.]

Leon. Like neon. I'll try to remember, dear. Thank you.

No problem . . . And like I said, I can introduce you.

[ She frowns a little. What should she do here. She did finish the bandages - she could go for the Nala but naaah it's a good message for him ]
