It took a while to secure enough materials and spare parts to carry out the distraction plan―about two weeks.
During this time, I've been getting away with reducing the dosage of my medication by slowly replacing the pills with sugar pills. There was still the liquid syrup medicine I was forced to take, but removing the pills effectively lowered the overall amount I was ingesting by 40%.
Now, with a clearer, much less inert mind, and only two weeks remaining until the transferral team would arrive to pick up Ruti, it was about time to act.
Ruti was still unaware that she was scheduled to move, but it seemed the Professors looking after her weren't and began acting strange since two weeks ago; as if collectively relieved about something. Picking up on that, she's been consistently pestering me to tell her if something is going on.
