Spoiler! Was anyone else annoyed that she was an addict and suddenly just woke up and no longer needed pills? How do you pump that much medicine into your body and poof you don't need it anymore? Or the fact that she didn't get hurt? Depression does not work like that. Those feelings just don't go away. Yes, she was not fully functioning as a human, but "just sleeping" doesn't cure what is really going on.

Yeah, that stuck out to me too. I found the ending disappointing, like there should have been a bigger narrative payoff.

I think it's not really supposed to be an accurate depiction of addiction, the pills are simply serving the storyline and as readers we just need to suspend our belief.

Preposterous but the idea of hibernating or sublimating is a good one to consider perhaps.
