The Experiments: Day 8

Jordan woke up. He stood up. He felt a lot better today than he had yesterday. He was probably going to go home tonight.

He exited his room to go fetch his orders, before coming back. Apparently, he had free days until Frisk had finished reverting. He looked at Frisk in the tube. She had lost almost all of her fur, and her wolf ears seemed to be a bit smaller. He considered opening the tube, but stopped when he considered something.

Frisk had seemed to be in pain when he injected the reversion solution into her. Emptying the tube would have her awake for the pain. Did he want to subject her to that? He didn't know...

She'd be happier in the tube, and it's not like he needed talk to him everyday. She'd be ok without him for another day or two. She probably didn't need him. So why was he still considering opening the tube?

It struck him. It wasn't because she needed him. It was because he needed her.

She had been the only person he could ever consider as a friend, and the only person who didn't hate him. The only person who liked him.

The only person who cared for him.

He held his hand above the button to drain the tube. He hesitated because he didn't want to be mean. He didn't know what type of pain he was inflicting on her. Plus, a few days ago, when he was subjected to the tests, he experienced the tests she had been put through. If Frisk looked in pain, it was probably bad, he decided. He moved his hand away from the button. Maybe tomorrow.

He left. He didn't want to do this. If he had to feel bad, it should be somewhere else.
