Why should you suffer when she can do it for you?
A revolutionary company can free you from your unwanted emotions. Jealousy, grief, despair. If you can afford to, you need never feel them again.
In your place is a Carrier - a woman who is paid to process your pain. In a world full of suffering, there is no shortage of demand.
But this company has secrets. The true cost of your freedom is a Carrier's life.
Would you let her pay the price?
