Lena's mother committed suicide when Lena was six years old after becoming infected with "Love", which drove her insane. Doctors were unable to cure her mother through three procedures. Lena grew up believing this story of her mother's death by love and that she too would be killed by love unless cured. The story questions the narrative Lena has always believed about her mother's suicide and her own fate.
3. SHE HAD BEEN INFECTED WITH
LOVE
AND IT HAD DRIVEN HER INSANE
4. THE DOCTORS HAD TRIED TO CURE
HER OF THE DISEASE WITH THREE
PROCEDURES
But none of them worked
5. THAT WAS THE STORY LENA HAD
ALWAYS BELIEVED.
She knew love would
kill her too, unless
she was cured.
The procedure was her only chance of
salvation.
