"I know he would," her voice is choked. Rae doesn't know if she can get words out. One hand has left the safety of the glass and is loosely covering her mouth.

("My dear friend Will Graham -- I think you met him as well? -- is back, and working again. We consult, have repaired our friendship beautifully, and consult on very interesting cases.")
"But you're not... not delusional, now. I've seen the shadows of people laboring under delusions, and yours aren't that. They're fractured, glittering things, but yours," Rae has to look at him, then, blinking away tears so she can see his face clearly. Her voice is higher than normal, obstructed by the lump in her throat. "You... may have been delusional at one point. Yours still have jagged edges but they've already been working to knit back together. You're not delusional now. And I know you're not lying to me, either."
"You say these things, and you know them as the truth in your heart," her voice breaks on the words, as she knows his words to be truth, sticking in her heart.
