“Yeah, we really do need to do clinical trials to complete the medicine,” Shannon said.

“They’re vital, of course,” Glim agreed. “But we’re in no state to start them yet—the toxin is still too strong. That’s why we’re trying to neutralize it first.”

Two days had passed since Shannon joined Glim, and while they had certainly made some headway on the cure, their overall progress had been stymied by the limited number of trials they could do and the fact that no one had ever tried to cure saluena before. In the meantime, their ingredients were running short, and so was Lily’s time.

“But unless we make a breakthrough, we’re gonna be in a real pinch,” Shannon pointed out.

Glim’s expression was stony. “I know, I know, but doing clinical trials with this medicine is too dangerous! Who knows how many people would die?”

Shannon gave Glim a sidelong glance as she picked up the unfinished potion. Her goal was to die, wasn’t it? Maybe now was the perfect time to make that dream come true. Her eyes lit up with anticipation. “Hey, why don’t we try it out on me?”

“Huh?” Glim’s expression hardened. He blinked rapidly in surprise, furrowing his brow. “No, no, no. What, do you think—”

“Try it on me.”

“Why?! Y-You know you might die, right? I think you’ve seen this yourself over the past few days, but the side effects are really, really bad! Did you see how violently those mice died?! It’s made me pray to any gods who are listening that when I die, I’m not reborn as one of those rodents. You will die if you take the medicine. Funny joke, but I’m not laughing.”

“But don’t we have to make sure of that?” If they tested the medicine now, then sooner or later, they’d manage to eliminate any toxic side effects. If they were ever going to do a clinical trial, this was the time.

Glim pressed his lips together. His eyes seemed sad. “Shannon, you are a kind girl, and you even saved me from the debt collector. Are you thinking of sacrificing yourself to save Lily?”

“Oh...no. I’m not trying to come off as noble as that.”

Thinking that she was trying to be modest, Glim patted her head comfortingly. “I’m grateful you feel that way, but the side effects are no joke. You don’t have to push yourself. You can keep sharing your knowledge with me just as you have been.”

Shannon tutted and wagged her finger. This was bad; if things continued along this path, she wouldn’t be able to achieve her primary goal. Of course she wanted to save Lily, but her first concern was finding a way to die.

“Besides,” Glim went on, “if you did take it, the only thing we would be able to confirm is the medicine’s toxicity. You aren’t infected with saluena.”

“Oh!” An idea pinged in Shannon’s head. There’s no way he could refuse me if I was sick! “You know, Mr. Glim, you’re right. If I don’t have the disease, then there’s no point.
