"Please," Neal says quietly, reaching up to stroke the uninjured side of Malcolm's face. "Let's get you checked over one more time, just to make sure you're okay, and if you still think you have to get out of wherever you are, I'll try to help you figure out how, okay?"

In the waking world, Neal-of-reality is about to lose his own goddamn mind. He had to harass Dani into even giving up the fact that Malcolm had called her, and it took spamming JT's phone with calls and texts to find out that Malcolm called from the Canmere and that someone had been there with him. Someone unknown.

Of course, Neal doesn't wait for them to deny him permission before he's on his way to the hotel himself, too.
