"You need help, Tuvok." B'Elanna stood inside the holodeck trying to
make him see reason. 

"I'll be fine," he ground out. His body shook with the effort it
took to keep the plak tow in check.

"Tuvok --"

"Get out!"

She grabbed his arms, forcing him to look at her. "You can _not_ do
this alone! You tried to meld with the holo of T'Pel and it didn't
work. You need a living person to get you through this." She lowered
her voice, pleading. "Let me help you."

"You don't know what you're saying."

"Yes," she whispered. "Yes, I do."
