Walter clutches at her hand, fingers scrabbling weakly at the skin, and she squeezes back tighter, knowing that he will feel it, knowing that this new pain will ground him.

He does not know who she is, not always, and sometimes he thinks that she is his wife, there to take him away with her, but that doesn't matter.

Instead she feels her thumb rub gently over his hand, feeling his grip slacken.

There are no words for this on any planet.
