Richard quickly learned about Gutas's method of suicide, which was… starvation.
Gutas was confident in this approach, but Richard was unconcerned.
Then…
On the first day of starvation, Gutas was bouncing around energetically.
On the second day of starvation, everything seemed normal for Gutas.
On the third day of starvation, there was no change in Gutas.
On the fourth day of starvation.
In the research facility, within the main laboratory.
Gutas was securely tied to a chair, and Richard drew a certain amount of blood from his arm into a test tube.
Turning around, he inserted a specially made needle into Gutas's vein, connected to a tube and a strange device, which in turn was connected to a glass bottle containing a prepared solution of 0.9% physiological saline and 5% glucose solution.
Gutas, unable to move at all, watched Richard's actions, eyes filled with hatred.
