I’m alive and using my true name and finally free to be myself. And yet, I’m completely falling apart. Every time I wake up screaming, Lorne is there. I don’t understand how he knows when I need him, but he does, and even if I can’t say the words aloud, I’m so thankful that he’s there. Because I wouldn’t survive this without him.

Some of the experimenters, including Nathan's first crush, Izzy, are disappearing without a word.
