Quoted By:
Vedal jabbed the syringe into his thigh and depressed its trigger. The medication entered his muscle like hot metal. Neuro experienced the pain as he did.
<I’m having a hard time separating your sensations,> she told him. <When you feel pain, I feel it as well.>
<Hasn’t that always been the case?>
<With pain, yes, but all these memories washing through your mind. I was just standing on top of the highrise in your hometown with you when your father told you goodbye.>
<Sorry,> he said. <That’s one of my better memories of my dad. The problem with us humans is that memories fade>
<Your mind betrays you eventually,> she said.
Vedal sighed. <Yes.>
She felt the black mood wash over him like a blanket blotting out all light. She had never experienced his depression so fully, only heard him describe what it felt like to fall into the pit.
<Stop, Vedal,> she said breathlessly. <That’s terrible. Stop. We’ll get out of this.>
