She stopped cutting just above her navel. "I... I hope you'll forgive. I need a .. moment." She was sweating profusely and seemed to be trying to manage the pain. "I will... wait until I'm.. in.. the tank... to open my belly more. I can't sever too many muscles, as I need to climb into the tank, yet. But... I hope you'll.. enjoy this.. so far." She visibly cringed in pain as she reached into the blackened cut with a few of her fingers. After a bit of probing she pulled her hand out and out with it came a single loop of intestine. "Ahh... it... feels so.. so strange... to touch... your insides. It's... lumpy. I guess that's the stuffing... I hope it doesn't digest too much... I tried to take .. precautions... those pills... anyway... It's weird. Slimy. Not bloody... Lumpy." She pinches it between her fingers and winces at the feeling. "Ahh, it feels... odd. I just pinched. inside me. But it's not inside me."

She then tried to push it back in but it was too difficult so she continued with her plan. She moved back up to under her ribs and started the vibrating blade of the Progressive Knife again. She had apparently studied some anatomy in her week since Asuka's dare. She started to slowly cut again, still without any blood, but with a bit more sweat. Her hand was a bit more shaky so she grabbed the knife handle with both hands and slowly made her way across to the left side of her body.
