* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Fetch Quest arc seemingly has a very simple and straightforward solution: just give every patient an item that they want. Unfortunately, it turns out giving patients what they ''want'' instead of what they ''need'' is a terrible idea, and almost everything Fern does during this arc only makes things worse.

->''"Back in the hall, you take a moment to reflect on what you've been through so far. You woke up mere moments ago in a strange place, full of strange things. Some of them want to hurt you, but they don't even sound like they're aware of it. Other things, apparently, are on your side. It feels too real to be a delusion, but it doesn't feel like the "right kind" of real. You can worry about what planet you're on later, though; some of the things here may or may not have taken your child from you and are going to do who the hell knows what in the name of some crackpot mockery of medicine."''

* AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder: Applies to everyone to varying degrees, especially when the people involved are from different zones. Everyone has a "perception sphere", which is basically the sum of reality they perceive, understand, and interact with. Outside the grayzone, and to some degree even inside, even when people see the same entity, their context for it can be very different. In Fern's eyes, Willis is tiny, while Isaac's eyes can see something bigger. When Fern sees an advertisement cardboard cutout, Isaac sees a fleshy version representing the Parliament's influence over it.

One day, an ordinary woman's infant son becomes ''hellishly'' sick, and his condition progressively worsens no matter what she or other doctors try. After her latest desperate attempt at saving her baby, the woman suddenly awakens in a strange transdimensional hospital of nightmarishly cartoonish design overseen by the dangerously inept and insufferably egotistical Dr. H.M. Phage, T.E., an anthropomorphic bowtie-collecting virus. With only the aid of countless invisible entities setting up camp in her mind and whispering to her various (often bizarre and/or nonsensical) instructions and directives, the woman must face insane alien doctors of dubious qualification and stability, sanity-shattering worlds and beings, and rude, talking body parts who spout terrible puns in her desperate search for her son's whereabouts. The woman's predicament becomes more complicated as she ends up uncovering the dark secrets revolving around the hospital's deteriorating condition and the origins of reality as we know it, and eventually her infant's connections to a universe-destroying force of evil.
