(Name: XXXXXX) – Status: Deceased Experiment #0003

Starting Observations: After being forcibly woken up with Excitas gas, the patient immediately proceeded to bite his own fingers. He failed to notice me until I tapped the glass of the containment chamber, approximately 10 seconds after they began. By the time that happened, ID0025 had already ripped off half his index and middle fingers. After the last experiment, this left the patient with only 5 remaining full fingers.

Experiment Procedure: The experiment proceeded as follows:

1. ID0025 was given a new experimental drug that enhanced his body’s ability to recover itself. The intention was to dissuade the patient from cannibalizing his own body.
   • Result: The patient started biting himself at an increased rate, matching the rate of recovery and eventually outpacing it. Though ID0025’s fingers all eventually recovered after an hour, it took only another hour for the patient to eat 5 of their own fingers again.
   • Conclusion: Even when it is futile, the patient will keep devouring their own body.
2. ID0025 was given a known drug that increased their body’s physical resistance. With this, I hope to stop the patient from being able to keep biting through his own flesh.
   • Result: The patient could not manage to keep tearing apart his own fingers. However, they kept trying. As the previous drug made their torn-apart fingers grow back, ID0025 began to sob uncontrollably while attempting to eat them before they could fully grow. After 30 minutes passed, only one cannibalized finger remained. The patient broke a few of his teeth while continuing their attempts. Eventually, all his fingers recovered.
3. After an hour with his fingers recovered, ID0025 began to repeatedly bash their head against the glass of the containment chamber until their skull cracked wide open. At that moment, ID0025 died.

Background Details: ID0025 was a runaway criminal who had strangled his wife to death a few years prior. The patient changed his name and performed an illegal operation on himself to change his appearance in hopes of escaping his previous life. One day, he approached me after repeated episodes of PTSD in which he felt himself strangling his wife at repeated intervals. The truth serum I gave him forced him to reveal everything, but I promised to keep everything a secret if they agreed to help me with experimental research in return. The procedure caused his fears to manifest, and ID0025 began to bite his own fingers in guilt for what he did.

Result: By extracting the memories from ID0025’s brain after his death, I have managed to fine-tune the potion I made to deal with violent urges. When dealing with thoughts of harming someone else, the brain will receive negative stimuli from watered-down versions of ID0025’s memory and hopefully prevent the person from acting on those thoughts.

Rabu entered the containment chamber and tapped the body of his subject with one of his feet, smiling down at him while crossing out the image of the patient on the page with red ink. Seeing people suffer saddened him. But they always seemed to be much more peaceful after dying. No longer could they act violently at others or themselves, no longer could they torment each other with words, no longer could they feel any form of pain. Instead, the only thing that was left was a comfortable silence that embraced them.

“Don’t worry,” Rabu knelt down in front of his patient, caressing his flesh with disregard for the blood that glued itself to his fur. “I’ll put your pain to good use. This will help a lot of people… You’ll live on in everyone’s mind.”

He stood up, not expecting a response from the deceased. Rabu turned around and left the containment chamber.

“I wish he didn’t die, though. I had a lot of experiments planned for him…”
