It’s hard enough that life throws haymakers at you, but you also have to deal with things you don’t like to do. Many people don’t like their jobs, and many regret the choices they’ve made in life that stick with them.

Her current home life is in even worst shape as she lies to her husband. By the issue’s end, we find out that she runs an underground clinic with a twist to who the patients are.
