The ocean threatens to consume you from the inside out. The Institute offers you a cure – but at the cost of your humanity… or so they say. Maybe you’ll just look different. Maybe you’ll never be able to look at your reflection again. Maybe you’ll turn into a monster after all.

Maybe your humanity is yours to make.

Either way, your life is on the line. It’s your choice what to do with it.

Made for Jamsepticeye with the prompt "Death Is an Opportunity" in just under five days!
