You're anticipating the worst. [ pointing that out even while he's taking a breath. he hasn't really explained it to most people (and most people have been polite and not asked), but he does think at least maybe gregor might get it. ] ...this week's not great. It, uh, sort of feels like there's a bunch of rust lining everything and it builds up if I don't clear it out. But it's Wednesday, so it's half-over, right?
[ you ever have internal injuries because some fuck decided to perform genome therapy on you that you didn't need and all of your insides were affected? ]
his brow furrows deeper as shoma explains, though, because-- well. yeah, he's got an idea of why, after everything.]
... from the experiments and all, yeah? [god. fuck them.] I'd say at least you don't have to worry about anyone touching it, but-- feel like it's worse to be dealing with it like that.
Oh. Yeah, okay, that's acceptable. You could almost call it a good foundation since...I dunno. I was only affectionate with people I actually liked in the first place.
[ but yeah. yeah, there it is. ]
Yeah. [ ... ] The medicine they used to give me to "treat me" was actually doing aa ton of the genetic modifications, but it meant damages while everything in my body repaired and rearranged itself. I haven't felt like this in a long time, and now if there's a lot of movement it's like everything rubs the wrong way. [ this whole week so far has been shoma basically dealing with a lot of cramp-like flu-like grossness which has been an experience. but it helps that it's not real. he thinks. ]
