Humanization
At least these days Bryan gave some warning.
Tala tried to make the doctors understand that it was amazing, but they wouldn't dwell on it.
They reminded him that the more gradual Bryan's mood swings the better for everyone. They told him that Bryan needed to even out the jump from 0 to 1000 in a quarter of a second. Make it more like a jump from 2 to 3, in a full second. Should at least be 2, they said; they wanted a heightened minimum. How Bryan grit his teeth and clenched his fists? Good signs. How his eyebrows knit and eyes flashed? The vocalization? All excellent progress but there was much more needed.
They said it was good, how now he warned, but not an observation to rest on. They said they were running out of time in which to see some serious improvement. And hey, both sides of the table wanted the same thing right? But Tala was angry being told that since Bryan was more responsive, now they had to make him less responsive. Had to lower that maximum.
'Cause, sure, son, it was wonderful, the swearing. But so late in the game, not nearly enough.
a/n: God, I give poor Tala waaaay too much to deal with.
