"What if the corrupt nature of the supposed doctors and researchers within the Ego Sickness Trilogy was replaced with medical professionals who were genuinely concerned with the sufferers' well-being? Who instead of trying to research the disease for their own advantages, would research it to try and save those afflicted? Even in a situation where a victim's health was put before all else, the recovery process would hardly be an easy process. But perhaps with enough time... and enough support... a better end could be reached."

Additional Notes:
To Olive and Rose,
Well, this was certainly interesting to write. And certainly not a SHORT story, let me tell you that... technically, this wasn't the result of a request and was instead the result of a bet so we'll just say this story follows different rules, and isn't restricted to the 2,500-7,500 word estimate (even though that rule did say that the word count would usually apply). Anyway, there are three parts to this. One today. One tomorrow. One the day after. And like promised, you get the ending you both wanted. Enjoy!
