amicably_absentGlitch wasn't entirely ready for this, but he didn't think he ever was going to be. You didn't get ready for someone doing a reinstalling transplant of your brain back into your head when you couldn't even actually remember having it taken out in the first place.
They had him dressed in a loose, open necked and shapeless shirt with similarly matched trousers, the theory being that he'd feel more comfortable and relaxed in calming clothes. And he knew that Wyatt and DG were outside the door, well, Wyatt, DG had been pale and struggling and she might have gone now that he was walking into the surgery and being helped to lie down.
"Just lie down, Ambrose, and we'll get you nicely under. You won't feel anything."
He lay down, a nurse looked at him with warm eyes as she stroked his forehead and hair, checking for signs of trouble along the zip. The doctor nodded, white lights being turned on and the mask over his lower face.
Glitch felt his heart start racing.
"All right now, Ambrose. Just count back from a hundred, ninety-nine-"
Glitch remembered nothing more. Certainly not flipping to his feet and off the table and definitely not barreling out of the surgery doors, through the waiting area and out of the hospital entirely at a flat sprint that he never would have credited himself as being able to do.

He returns to the rom, steals Cain's coat and goes out again, hugging the heavy coat around his body as he wanders through the hallways, just enjoying the sensation of walking and the night time air on his face from the open windows of the conservatory...
Huh. Conservatory. He sits down on one of the chairs, gazing outside with his feet tucked up under him.
