Way more than normal. It’s almost an Ewok sitting in the bottom of the tub. And your gums hurt. You check out your teeth in the bathroom mirror. Near the back of your mouth, on one side, your gums are bleeding. You realize your toothbrush is really nasty. It’s the magic that’s doing this. You know it is. You have to stop. You have to quit reading that damn book, and stop learning the things it is teaching. This is what it means when they say that there are “things that man was not meant to know”. This is why.
