She could regrow it for her, too, heal her hands." He smiled a little at the Oz idea. "I was thinking Little Women. Nothing bad really happens in those books."

Maybe she'll never leave here, but if we can help make her more comfortable. Maybe we can get her away from the wall."
He nodded at Dib's phone, putting his own hands into his pockets to hide their barely perceptible tremble.
