Hmm. My point is that while Mink is very powerful and versatile, and has been in a few good fights, she is basically self taught with regular human level reflexes. Tank has years of military training and experience. Plus he he knows how durable he is at thr deep brain level and acts accordingly. So if Cut Up has some Jack the Ripper powers hidden away, I'd put money on Tank intercepting a power blade away from Mink's very human guts.

2024-07-24 23:24:51 +0000 UTCThat's why Tank is there and why they don't have any "tools" within several body lengths of the bench save what is on their persons

2024-07-24 21:32:28 +0000 UTCIf I was that guy, I'd ask to be strapped down to the table before begins, because there will be a gap between the muderous-psychosis-preventing-gadget coming out and her new treatment taking effect, and I wouldn't trust myself with that window.

2024-07-24 19:30:03 +0000 UTCAnyone else notice that where ever Mink goes in Bedlam, Tank is always a few steps behind her? I think we are about to see a very good example as to why.

Even if he has to live the rest of his life as a different person with the regrets of what "cut-up" did, he'll still be able to find peace that "cut-up" will never Hurd anyone again.

2024-07-24 17:19:12 +0000 UTCOne interesting idea: as I understand it, in the series "Dexter" it is eventually revealed that Dexter's mental problem is in fact caused by a demon. That's also a theme in the "Lord Darcy" series of science-fantasy detective stories, as well as one other short story who's name escapes me at the moment. Wouldn't it be interesting if Cut-Up's problem isn't strictly medical, but turns out to be magical, and when Mink goes a-poking, a demon pokes back?
