“Iaku my name is Dr. Dobson. You
may call me Pan. Don’t bother getting up. I understand how difficult that would
be. I’m here to assure you that your treatment has almost come to an end.
Don’t fret. We will take very good
care of you. The technicians tell me you’ve developed a fear of light.
This is often a late stage side effect
of the treatments. Unavoidable really. Anyway, your last procedure has been
scheduled for the tenth.”
“Where… Where is Elricha?”
“My dear, your voice has changed
too. Elricha has been moved to a containment unit. Do not concern yourself with
her. She had a very bad incident with one of the attendants during her last
treatment. Consequently we’ve been monitoring more closely.
Nothing to worry about though!
Please get some rest! You have a big day coming up--until then my dear.”
The lead door slammed shut. Iaku cradled
herself in the makeshift bed in the corner.
