[Ty has a scowl on his face when he makes this video, rocking back and forth again in that self-soothing manner as he pointedly does not look at the screen. He's hugging his arm to his chest tightly, knuckles white, and his free hand is held uselessly in the air, at least a dozen small bleeding cuts all over it as he makes squeezing motions with his fingers. He cringes as he does it, looking tense and distressed, but he doesn't stop the movement.]

The library here is pointless. You can't read any of the books. I wanted to find the Sherlock Holmes stories, but it doesn't have them. It doesn't even have a cookbook. I need a cookbook. I don't know how to cook, and I don't want to eat toast anymore, and the stove didn't make the macaroni right. The microwave only makes things explode.

I went looking for animals, and there aren't any I can find in the city. All the animals in the tunnels are big and mean. There aren't any nice animals. All the tunnels lead you right back here. Whoever made the tunnels like that, it isn't funny or nice.

[Ty takes in a deep, trembling breath and lets it out once he's gotten that little tirade over with, then goes back to why he's making this video in the first place.] I need a cookbook. And instructions for the stove.

I can write out some recipes my family has been using, if you'd like.

You... [ She clears her throat. ] You're telling me you want a cookbook for food that no other world has? Your best bet is to make it yourself and go vegan.

What do you want the animals for?

[If Magnus were to be believed, people liked cats around here. But she had to be sure of attentions before putting her own on screen.]

As my cousin Fingon has said - we have several basic recipes that we could share? If you like, we could teach you some things too.

Sounds like you're on your last tether. When was the last time you actually ate anything real?

[ since, you know, the post is about food, he's gonna guess the poor kid is about ready to pass out from a sugar deficit. Or because the idiot forgot to drink some water. ]

[The rocking. The pointed avoidance of making eye contact with the screen. There's a painful familiarity to it. Certainly it's not enough to make a formal diagnosis, but still Rosen's mind wanders to another young man back home.

'Doctor Rosen, I'm slamming my door now.']

Hello

[He tries to keep his voice even and non-threatening]

Are you hurt? I'm a doctor...

[am_i_a_monster]

Are you okay? I can show you how to cook a few things.
