Normally, a project this ambitious and drastic requires years of work. Years of trial and error. Time that I didn't have. We significantly condensed the timeline. Tina was worried and thought it could be too dangerous working like this. Will... didn't really protest and worked alongside me.
[Was Will thinking about betraying him by then?]
Our new serum seemed ready. But at the last moment, I started to have doubts. I was intimidated by the moment of truth.

Will saw how shaky my hand became as I held the syringe. The needle hovering over my skin. He took it out of my hand and injected it into my vein. For a long time, I had no doubts that Will was trying to help me in that moment.
