The redemption of The Rose Part II

[Blackstarr]

Aya thought about what he said as they walked through the hallways. It made sense. Noone in their right minds would let it be known publicly that they were working on a cure for cardamine given the size of the Maltese nation.

Aya stepped into the room and looked around at the scanning equipment but froze when he mentioned the withdrawl study. She shuddered. While it wouldnt be much worse than what she had suffered in the prison, she had just gotten her blood-drug levels balanced again, and the worst part of withdrawl was the beginning. 'Which is just quite as well too as that would need to be studied closely', she thought to herself

She put that thought away and layed down on the scanner and allowed him to continue with his study, thinking about if she would be willing to put herself through the suffering of withdrawal again for the sake of science. She did want to help people. She saw what cardamine did to people her entire life.
