It's unstable. It's a clone, and none of them were ever fully stabilized, apparently, even when he thought they were, so. I got sick. And then I started melting.
It seems like none of that applies here, though. I guess stability doesn't matter when you're already dead.

So maybe, we could try something else? To make you feel better.

Right, well, I'm really glad you're not melting or sick.

He's...the person I live with now. We were supposed to help each other become better.
