But unbeknownst to Ethan and others like him, a sinister plot was unfolding. Deep within the corporate halls of BigPharma, a powerful new drug had been patented—one designed not to heal, but to enslave. This drug, named "Sugravex," was marketed as a miraculous treatment for anxiety and depression, targeting society's most vulnerable: the poor, the mentally ill, and the disenfranchised. It was cheap to produce, with 97% of its cost translating directly into profit, and its true purpose was carefully hidden. | But unbeknownst to Ethan and others like him, a sinister plot was unfolding.

Sugravex wasn’t just a pill; it was a weapon. The drug rewired the brain, dismantling the ability to resist sugar cravings. Those who took it found themselves consumed by an insatiable hunger for sugary foods. Remarkably, while on the drug, the users felt little pain or immediate trouble. They could go about their lives without realizing the full cost of their addiction. However, long-term use of Sugravex led to devastating effects: gradual organ failure, clouded minds, and a significant loss of intelligence. These side effects were subtle at first, emerging only after years of dependency. BigPharma ensured that the connection between the drug and these outcomes was obscured, blaming other factors like lifestyle choices, genetic predispositions, or environmental issues. | Sugravex wasn’t just a pill; it was a weapon.

Ethan’s troubles began when the government introduced a mandate for all citizens deemed "at risk" of mental instability to take Sugravex. The justification was simple: to protect public health and ensure societal productivity. Ethan, being a vocal critic of the increasing encroachments on personal liberty, refused to take the drug. He knew his body was a temple of the Holy Spirit, and he would not defile it. | Ethan’s troubles began when the government introduced a mandate for all citizens deemed "at risk" of mental instability to take Sugravex.
