The building next to it burns the animals
we experiment on. I have worked
on a few preclinical reports in my time.

so desperate that they attempt suicide,
over and over again. I am legally obligated
to spare you the particulars.

Here. This pill will dissolve like sugar.
Your last five months will be good ones.
