[ Jerry's often smoking a pipe because they don't have Marlboros. He got it in Nocwich, it looks like a boar's head, and he loves the damn thing. Though right now, probably for the first time, he is neither looking chill nor smoking. He actually looks uncharacteristically serious. ]

Nero told me. Sounded important. He kept repeating it.

Prob'ly since the mind-texts are so fucked up.

He also said, uh... hide-nell-ia? No idea if I'm saying that right.

[ Jerry spells it out: HYDNELLIA. ]

Any idea what it means?
