I cannot function like this! I can't! I won't!1 They can't find anything wrong with me, but they aren't looking hard enough. yWhy can't anyone find the problem??

Nothing has a taste anymore. Tried everything. 8Ate everything. No point. I can feel it and see it and chew it to pieces but no taste. Enjoyment diminished by 70%. Texture, smell, color- no taste??? NO TASTE.

Tried to fix it myself.

[The video finally flicks on and those without strong tanks/stomachs will probably need to look away. Dirge's throat is torn open, ragged bits of protoform peeling away to reveal a mess of wires pulled out from beneath his chin. Below that a long tube is visible, slightly nicked by sharp, fumbling claws. A few of the wires are sparking, most are hanging limply, two are welded together in some haphazard attempt to connect them. Dirge opens his mouth, wincing as he does so, to display a much managled tongue. A segment in the middle is split open, leaving it hanging at an odd angle, the rest ummovable down from the wound.]

Did not work. Can't eat. It hurts.

gHelp.
