She saw a young man slumped in a chair, running his hands through his hair. He looked as if he were about to come undone.

She marched over to him. "The doctor's a liar."

He looked up, surprised. "What are you talking about?"

"The diagnosis," she said, her voice taut. "The one they gave you? The… the… the genetic anomaly?"

He just stared at her, and then nodded.
