“[Before] it was like the person you see now was trapped inside of a cage inside of a monster who ran around destroying things, and I didn’t like that old person, I didn’t like the person who held me hostage inside. I decided to take the [treatment] to get rid of that monster. That person is gone and now it’s me, the person outside the cage, the good person, the nice person.”
