I hated being underground. It was so cold, so damp. I felt terribly alone, save for the faint voices of the others and the echoes of my own breathing that continued to pester me.
This bunker, though convenient and safe, was cramped, and I could only isolate myself in one of the rooms which branched off the main hallway. I needed to be alone. I needed to think.
I didn’t blame Cyrus—really, I didn’t—but I was angry, if not at him for starting the process then at Xenogenesis for twisting his dream. It was so wrong, evil in fact. Like Disney-villain-evil. But that was what I expected from them at this point.
And I was starting to believe they were worse than Maleficent and Captain Hook combined.
My fingers were stiff from clutching the file so tightly for so long. I hadn’t dared to open it. The reactions of some of the others turned my stomach. They looked so scared, white as sheets and dripping with sweat, that I couldn’t force myself to take a peek.
I couldn’t afford such a reaction in public. By my luck, I’d have passed out from shock or something.
But now that I was alone, I had no excuse not to read the file. I had to know the truth.
So sitting in that dark, cold room, all alone and as peaceful as I could be at a time like this, I opened the manilla folder and began to read.

While on vacation, another scientist induced too much exertion on subject. Heart stopped for six minutes. Able to restart; too far into project to abandon. After further examination, kidney and liver failure are more evident.

Anticipated to make full recovery. Diet to be increased by 700 calories each day until fifteen pounds gained after she awakes.

...
10 January 2007
Subject administered selective amnesic sedative and subjected to memory implantation. Successful. Sedative began to wear off upon entering Pennsylvania town. Not designated location, but I panicked. Left subject on side of street, wings wrapped around herself. Clever disguise.
As I pulled away, caught sight of her stirring and the three men eying her. Couldn’t stay. Will regret this later.
Pulled her out of treatment one year early. Couldn’t take it. Expect termination to come shortly.
I regret this. All of this. I wish for them to erase my memory before letting me go. Perhaps they will kill me. Either is fine.
