Jayce sometimes gets a certain tune stuck in his head that he can’t shake. I don’t know that more music would help, especially that song in particular. But we could try ambient music or something similar from home to see if it rouses him.
[ If he had a nickel every time he has bitten Johann he'd have two nickels. ]
[ His first frantic impulse is to suggest, yes, to keep humming that melody in his ears—louder and louder and louder until something cracked and gave way... but, ]
Do try and let me know the results. In the meantime I will... continue to research. We made a breakthrough getting a regressive response in Katalyth with it. I do worry- that um, with our current data that it may serve as more of a lullaby in his case instead of an alarm clock, if it even does anything at all.
[ Jayce isn't made of Katalyth, after all. Right? ]
If this research caused him to worsen, please take a break from it. I don't want anyone else to end up like this. Everyone needs to take more breaks and spend more time away from that horrible thing.
[ Progress isn't worth this. How many more of them will they need to go through in order to get answers? How many more sacrifices? She should have paid more attention to what they were doing. She should have done something long before this. ]
We can't move him. So he is as comfortable as we can make him. I brought him a blanket for his shoulders, just in case.
[ Likely he doesn't feel anything at all. But she wants to try. ]
None that I could find. He asked me to meet him in the lab, so he could tell me about your...breakthrough. Then I found him that way. I can only assume it's the prolonged exposure to Katalyth.

Um... this may sound like a strange suggestion but have you tried music?
no subject
No, we haven’t tried music.

Is he comfortable?

We've been fairly careful with it.

Then his body is compensating for the exposure, perhaps? Steeling himself away from it by force?

Is there anything else abnormal about him?

I've also seen plants occasionally entwined in him. Have they changed at all?
no subject
The plants are mine. They've displayed no adverse reaction to his state.
