June 1938

I spent all night in the clouds, sleeping very little, until the feeling wore off in the wee hours of the following day. That morning saw Lewis at the mercy of Ned's needles. I waited eagerly for the Nexus to find my friend's blood, planning to tease and offer support when he went giddy with the sweeping cold.

Lewis did not laugh. He did not even smile.

When Ned forced the contents of the syringe into his body, my friend took a pained breath and promptly fainted. He then spent three days in a coma.

On the fourth day, when he opened his eyes again, he was different.

He would never be the same.
