They were both talking at the same time, Gabe and Yewll. Niles couldn't focus on them both, Gabe's words seeming to drown out the explanation that the doctor was giving. Something about mild electrical charges and the problems that could happen and how it was their only option. But he couldn't hear her. He only saw that look in Gabe's face behind her. Terrifying and ominous.

It was Gabe's prodding that gave Niles the idea. A way to derail this whole thing and so he could get out of there. His gaze shifted to Yewll, trying to reach for her despite the cuff around his wrist. "The EGO..." he croaked out.

"Already taken care of," she said with finality. "Slipped your girlfriend a sedative when she came to see you. Looked like she could use the sleep. Which you're about to get more of."

Without waiting to see what Niles was trying desperately to say, she walked away. Presumably to get the necessary equipment.

Niles looked frantically to Gabe. "I won't let her do it," he managed to say.
