“They have a cure.” He said.
“Oh, oh!“ The woman clasped hands, “How soon can they work it? Or is it done already.” She started up. “Let me see her.”
“ There is some question.” The man paused.
“Is there a terrible risk?” said the woman. “Could she die from the treatment?”
“No, no. Nothing like that. She would be perfectly well.” He said. “It would change her. “
“Change her? They will take her arm next week and her leg the week after! She will be changed.” said the woman.
“It would change all of her. And in her view she has a rather nice nose.”
“I… I don’t understand.” She said.
“The cure would cure her. The person she looked at in the mirror might not be someone she knows.“
“She would have lost the self she’s trying to save.” The woman sighed, falling back to her seat. “She is really a very brave girl.”
“It is so hard to make these decisions.” he said.
