My favorite thing about this chapter is Matthew's relationship with his possessions. Automatically, a person like that must be some degree of Total Asshole, oftentimes without even realizing they ARE that way. But it's so clear that Matthew's way too hyper-aware of the world and himself to fall into that category. That you made him come off as completely sane while literally saying a sentimental goodbye to his things is awesome.
I also really like his exchange with Daniel. Lays a great cornerstone of his personality.
My sense of time was becoming blurred and I began to smile.
Great detail -- both a taste of what's coming, and a cruel, false sense of comfort. And God, the description of everything post-injection was spot-on. It's that moment when you want to turn to the people running the show and ask if it's normal to be feeling this much agony, but you can't. In this case, because it's literally never been done to any living being who can answer that question. Fucking scary.
"Twatwaffle" though he may be (I'd never heard that one before; me LOL long time!), I think the end of this chapter proves he really is quite smart. Or retrospectively conscientious, at least, lol...
