What would you have me do then? Suffer?

[Archer's voice is sharp, but it's a genuine question.]

Without the pain medication, there's literally nothing else for me to do, Kimblee. I won't be capable of movement without it. That won't kill me, but I can't support this automail without the shots that keep me functioning.

[Not living. Functioning.]

I am genuinely curious. What would you have me do after the pain medication runs out?
