Hal in Tavis's waiting room (p. 518)

quote

the kid apparently had on-court use of only one hand because the other had to pull around beside him a kind of rolling IV-stand appliance with a halo-shaped metal brace welded to it at head-height, to encircle and support his head

Context

The blind prospective student (Dymphna, by scene 114's account): a skull held together by a literal ring. Encirclement as life-support.
