TAAron found himself shaking as he climbed back into his chair. He began to read again. A paragraph down the page, he realized he had forgotten everything that he had just read.

Finally, he could remember what he read, but he found that he somehow couldn't concentrate on the book, his mind feeling like it was full of dissonant echoes. Frustrated, he put it down on the table. "I can't. I don't know why, but I can't. I was fine until I tried tapping zinc... is pain from using metals a symptom on any of those, Nameless?"
