after? My father did tell me that he felt drowsy when he got his chip inserted, so I suppose that was it. My dear mother commented that she didn’t remember any pain. I find it all confusing. I must go to bed now. My head is throbbing terribly.

I apologize for not writing. I was dreadfully sick and could not get up from bed. I believe there is something flawed with the chip; I've been starting to crave sugar despite having almost thrown up at the sight of my cake. My fingers no longer project laser beams and my thoughts are jumbled even as I write. My head is hurting once more. I must got to bed.
Saturday
My father fears there must be something in the chip that I am allergic to and I may be affected negatively by the chip. My mother is quite distressed. I believe she’s extremely worried that I may turn out idiotic. I really do hope that does not happen. Dear Porpentina would tease me terribly.

Wow I haven’t wrote since Saturday. Sorry. But, I was in the hospital for a looong time. Some allergic reaction with the chip and it had to be removed and complicated stuff. It would have hurt, but they gave me this icky gas to breathe, so I didn’t feel a thing. I’m really upset though. Now I can’t have the chip and I’ll grow up stupid and weird. Porpentina made fun of me at school today. She was like, "My poor Naomi, I feel terribly for you and your family. What a horrible loss. It will be dreadful for you to grow up amongst incredibly intelligent men and women when you are much less than average." What does that even mean?
