The human body is an absolute nightmare. Like living inside an active volcano. Like a comedy improv show made entirely of fistfights. Van’s over it. She ever gets the chance, she’s vacating this flesh prison and opting into something that operates on logic. Something that isn’t all hormone and madness and fucking inconvenience. Something that doesn’t take one look at her current situation—starvation, malnutrition, literal goddamn cannibalism—and say, You know what? Throw in a dash of horny, just for spice. She’s fucking over this.
