This is... god this is way too much like facing down the automated vocal cord surgery, shoving his throat into a claw that scrambled it around so that all he could do afterwards was make dying whale noises.
...He's still not entirely sure how he remembers that and yet doesn't have the scar and the bellow to prove it. He tries not to think about it.
But the idea is to keep Isaac calm, right? Keep him calm. He swallows, practically feeling the agony of the blades in his throat and the exhaustion of missing a whole night's sleep.
His hands are sweaty.
And he tries.
He really, really tries.
But this part is really fucking hard and he can't help but feel Isaac next to him, remembering this just as much as he's remembering the vocal cord surgery, both self-inflicted parodies of medicine to get a job done.
He can't do it.]
Fuck. Fuck. Goddammit!
[He flinches back as the needle doesn't just pierce Isaac's eye but drills all the way through his head, the poor man screaming in utter agony. Jack drops the controller.]
