Please describe your physical, mental, and emotional state as pertains to this clinical trial.
Anxious. Conflicted. Liable to kill. I have been for weeks, but especially after what Saito said last night. The choice is mine. But how could I ever give up Obexity? My life before the treatment was barely worth living. I can’t go back to that. Monstera owns me now.
That was yesterday, before I found what I found and everything started to make sense.
My weight loss, the trial, maybe even me being selected for it—he orchestrated all of it. The one person I vowed would never control me, or my eating, ever again.
I may still be anxious—definitely murderous—but no part of me is uncertain about what I need to do.
Hank, if you’re reading this: I’m coming for you.
