#maybe not fully but back to having some semblance of peace and normalcy and agency

I must know what they do to Connor to make him depressed afterwards :(

You will pay for making me cry so much everytime I reread your comics

The answer is probably what DIDN’T they do 😅 Connor’s the first known merman in captivity and Kamski and Co. aren’t held back by scientific or medical ethics. You can fill in the blanks :’)

I will say that Kamski’s favourite experiments are those involving Connor’s rapid healing abilities. He’s had more than a few incisions/excisions, some of which have been less…anesthetized. Just to measure stress response and its relation to healing rate, of course.

He hides his spiraling as best he can, but he’s been cracked open and violated so many times, in so many ways, that on his bad days he often feels like nothing more than an empty shell. That he has nothing left to offer; to himself, to his family, to Hank.

He hates Kamski, but he did this to himself, after all. If only he had been faster, stronger…more resilient.
