[Curiosity. It's a very prominent trait the two men share, and Stein never minds talking with a similar mind about his experiments. Horror and shock and disgust are amusing reactions, but there's nothing like shared interest.

He's still bundled up well (it's not exactly warm in the houses), but when he turns the video on he's removed the wrapped fabric he usually wears around his head. The implant has very clearly been removed, with no immediately obvious signs of scarring or damage (though his glasses are missing).]

As far as I can tell, it has. The removal of the implant should have resulted in an increase in violent compulsions and a marked decrease in impulse control, but with the Admin's procedure I experienced the exact opposite impact. At the moment, I am experiencing absolutely no violent impulses at all, and have not since my revival. At first I was concerned that it was simply the death price, but that wore off without impacting the aspects the Admin said she could control.
