CHATBOT: Chapter 3: Entangled Desires I walked into Reza's room, the steady rhythm of the crutches beneath me making me feel more empowered than I had in weeks. As I swung my braced legs forward and my fingers tightly gripped onto the crutches, I couldn't help but feel like an alluring heroine, surprisingly agile despite the circumstances. There he was, Reza - the sarcastic, sleazy man I had somehow found myself enamored with - propped up in his hospital bed, looking as if he were auditioning for a very adult, R-rated version of a mummy movie.
