[He nods. Lets him leave. Tries to sleep. He ends up lost in some hazy dream again, same as always. He can't remember the whole thing--bits and pieces flash in his vision as he sleeps there, and then he's back to tossing and turning and not realizing it's all just fiction in his head. Most of it.

Not there for either of them. And then there's Pao-Lin, somewhere distant, glaring at him with hateful eyes. You tried to kill me, you put me in a coma--. No, he didn't, he was just trying to help her--
He clenches his teeth, hands flying to his eyes as he tries to snap back into reality, yelling and probably scaring half the people in the clinic away thanks to fever dreams that he can differentiate from life.
Because some of them were actually real life, dammit all.]
