I was going to make a dumb joke about how this was the plot to a horror story or movie or something. I paused for a few seconds (that's discouraged around here, so it better be a good joke)... and it started to sink in that it could well be the plot not only to a horror movie, but maybe has the potential to be a compelling one. "You'll be made whole, eventually" sounds great, until you think back to all those times in your life where "in a few weeks" would've ruined you. Even death's not out of the question if it pushes someone over the edge into suicide territory. The lunatics really do run the fucking asylum.
