Summary
While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.

Summary
"Like, every slice is a layer of being okay, right? You're okay, you're okay, you're okay -- and then maybe at some point, the holes in each layer line up with one another and there's a tunnel straight through the whole fucking pile. And suddenly you're not okay. You know?"
His cigarette has already run down. He drops it and fumbles a loosey out from his shirt pocket. For some reason his heartbeat is coming fast and relentless, like he's in some sort of danger, except he's just on the fucking phone with Sydney in an empty alley.
-- Carmy calls Syd for no real reason at all

Summary
Gale rubs his eyes, expecting the image to disappear, but it doesn't. He waves a hand in front of his face. Feels like he's going to throw up. And John goes on smiling, standing with his arms folded over his chest in the same stupid leather jacket he died in.
----
Or, John doesn't survive the beating he took in Münster. He keeps Gale company during the rest of the war, anyways.

Marge is in the kitchen, and he can smell a hint of cinnamon and warm bread as he unfolds the letter. Dear Major Gale Cleven, I am writing to inform you of the passing of my husband, Major John Egan. I believe you were close -

He gets the life with the white house and blue shutters and the daughter who has never been covered in so much blood and mud you forget what it's like to be clean.
