okay. i feel the need to bring attention to arora's role in the trials. everyone overlooks her genius so unendingly it's almost hurtful. arora is the reason why the trials are what they are. arora is responsible for the existence of the psychosis gas and thus for the skinnerman— which is to say, she is responsible for the existence of easterman's egregore and the root of the psychological influence of the trials at large. she is responsible for easterman's descent into drug addiction due to the sheer quality of her formulations, and thus for the descent into madness (and corresponding ascent into effectiveness) sinyala has experienced. she is undoubtedly responsible for countless chemical breakthroughs in the larger world that were so completely widespread they became nearly invisible. leland coyle, poor and rural, knew about the quality of her pharmaceutical syntheses. she had to teach herself japanese to converse with the only person on her level, and she did so seemingly without struggle. her father relied on a formula that was implicitly hers in his attempt to kill her. even if it was not hers, the antidote was, and she was enough of a surgeon to save her own life, along with otto's. she was enough of a surgeon to save her father's life— sawn in half from groin to chops (ha) and sewn back together upside down, he lived for weeks with her help. she is ridiculously accomplished.
