He
closed
his
eyes
and
felt
a
strange
warmth
flow
up
from
his
legs
to
his
trunk
and
out
to
his
arms
,
up
to
his
shoulders
and
his
head
.
He
felt
himself
vibrating
and
pulsing
.
He
looked
down
and
saw
the
spot
,
the
bright
white
light
that
hurt
his
eyes
.
And
looking
down
,
he
knew
they
had
to
take
the
spot
,
all
of
them
,
all
together
at
once
,
and
then
they
were
on
the
spot
and
he
was
on
the
spot
and
in
the
spot
.
.
.
and
through
the
spot
.
.
.
falling
hurtling
through
inner
space
all
the
people
flowing
together
.
.
.
sliding
together
.
.
.
interlocking
.
.
.
And
then
he
was
out
the
other
side
.
He
clasped
his
hands
and
held
them
in
front
to
look
at
them
.
Now
he
knew
why
he
hadn
t
been
completely
fused
before
.
The
others
hadn
t
been
revealed
.

All
the
others
he
had
created
,
all
their
actions
,
thoughts
,
memories
,
from
Billy
s
early
childhood
to
this
moment
,
now
came
back
to
him
.
He
knew
the
successful
ones
as
well
as
the
failures
the
undesirables
Arthur
had
tried
to
control
and
then
vainly
to
hide
.
He
now
knew
his
history
:
their
absurdities
,
their
tragedies
,
their
undisclosed
crimes
.
And
he
also
knew
that
as
he
thought
of
something
or
remembered
it
and
spoke
of
it
to
the
writer
,
the
twenty
-
three
others
would
come
to
know
it
,
too
,
and
would
learn
the
story
of
their
own
lives
.
Once
knowing
,
amnesia
erased
,
they
could
never
be
the
same
again
.
That
made
him
sad
,
as
if
he
had
lost
something
.
But
for
how
long
?
He
sensed
someone
walking
down
the
lobby
,
and
turned
to
see
who
was
coming
toward
him
.
Parts
of
himself
,
he
knew
,
had
met
the
little
doctor
.
Dr
.
Caul
walked
through
the
AIT
lobby
toward
the
nurses
station
and
saw
what
he
thought
at
first
was
Billy
,
sitting
in
the
chair
outside
the
TV
room
.
But
the
moment
his
patient
stood
and
turned
,
Caul
knew
it
wasn
t
Billy
or
any
of
the
personalities
he
had
seen
before
.
There
was
an
easiness
to
the
stance
,
a
disarmingly
open
gaze
.
Caul
guessed
something
had
happened
,
and
he
felt
it
was
important
to
show
the
patient
his
doctor
was
sensitive
enough
to
know
without
asking
or
being
told
.
He
had
to
risk
it
.
Caul
folded
his
arms
across
his
chest
and
looked
directly
into
the
penetrating
eyes
.
"
You
re
the
Teacher
,
aren
t
you
?
I
ve
been
expecting
you

"
The
Teacher
looked
down
at
him
and
nodded
,
a
quiet
strength
in
his
half
smile
.
"
You
ve
stripped
away
all
my
defenses
,
Dr
.
Caul
.
"
"
I
didn
t
do
it
.
You
know
that
.
It
was
time
.
"
"
Things
can
t
ever
be
the
same
again
.
