In Cold Blood

"Why would you do this, especially right now, when you're sick? For that reason right there. Because no matter how many times I say it, everyone is treating me the same way... like I'm fragile, and damn it, I am not! Not yet, anyway, and until I am, everyone just needs to let me be me. Fine. Just... it doesn't feel like you're taking this as seriously as you should be. This is all I have thought about since the moment I found out. Any time my mind is at rest, it pops into my head, and it is so exhausting. Let me help you. With what? I'm the one who has to sit in that uncomfortable chair for hours on end. I am the one whose body is gonna be pumped full of... Just toxic drugs. I'm the one who might lose my hair, my taste buds, my energy... me. I know. I know. But the best way to get through this is gonna be as a team, and that means me and you, Lois."
