Slowly, haltingly, Alex tells the story. He tells it as accurately as he can, though he leaves out a bit about Talissa and Melas - just says that he heard voices that condemned him for leaving Mars, for leaving his family. Miller doesn't need to know specifics, there. But the gist might help.

He has to stop a couple times, and by the end of it he's just outside the door, unable to stay in the room even as he tells Miller about it.

He finishes by telling him about waking up.

"... Then I stumbled over to Prax's and - probably raved like a lunatic."
