Post-seizure discharge from Cambridge City Hospital; the deceptive well-being; heading to the Antitois

texture · 14 Nov YDAU, ~evening

• When: 14 Nov YDAU, N. Cambridge (out of Cambridge City Hospital, walking east-then-south to Antitoi Entertainment, Inman Square)
• What: Poor Tony wakes in the ambulance "lizardless and continent and feeling right as rain" — the "notoriously deceptive and transient" post-seizure high — flirts with the paramedic, and (Health Card expired and not even in his name) talks Cambridge City Hospital into discharging him. Restored to a fragile hauteur — "The dignity of a man risen by will from the ashes of Withdrawal" — he sets off the eight-block stroll to Antitoi Entertainment, "maybe the one last place where a renewed, post-seizure... young gender-dysphoric might yet expect a bit of kindness," on the strength of the old decoy-op debt (event 3). En route he sizes up the two women ahead (event 11).
