[ because the end isn't now, and because time, logic and rational thought are of no meaning when everything you can understand is pain. making it through horrors that you can't avoid is just waiting, and that's be purpose of the elixir. ]
If they can last a week without begging for the antidote, they win. At least, in that trial. [ not the only one, but the one he wants to show gwen to make her understand what she's asking for. ]
